TEDxUNYP

What TEDxUNYP does

TEDxUNYP is an independently organized TEDx event affiliated with the University of New York in Prague (UNYP), operating since 2015 under license from TED. The organization runs a single annual, one-day conference at the Prague Congress Center, featuring 15 speakers across three themed sessions, an audience of 300+ attendees, and structured networking components (lunch, coffee breaks, afterparty). The brand is managed by a three-person core team (Licensee/Organizer, Co-Organizer/Event Manager, Partnerships Coordinator/Social Media Manager), with additional volunteer support during event production.

The underlying technology stack is deliberately minimal and commodity-based: a WordPress website (tedxunyp.cz), a YouTube channel for post-event video distribution, and the GoOut.net ticketing platform for ticket sales. No proprietary software, AI systems, or data infrastructure are operated. The event's defensible asset is its content library — over nine editions, TEDxUNYP has hosted 100+ speakers and accumulated 5M+ YouTube views, with two talks selected as Top 100 TEDx Talks (2023, 2024).

Revenue is generated through two streams: ticket sales via GoOut.net and a multi-tier sponsorship structure anchored by UNYP as general partner, with six media partners (JCDecaux, Evropa 2, CzechCrunch, Vysokeskoly.cz, iLead, MIT Sloan) and approximately nine lifestyle and food sponsors. The legal entity is University of New York in Prague, s.r.o (Czech limited liability company), and financials are not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is event-driven: the organization reaches audiences through its website, media partner amplification, social media, and the UNYP student/alumni network, with post-event YouTube distribution providing global reach.
