A dedicated team of 24 students, led by Edem Fiifi Dawson (Main Lead) and Beata Nhyira Ackun (Co-Lead), spearheaded the event, marking a significant milestone for the university.

This initiative provides a platform for students to exchange ideas, spark innovation, and drive positive change in their communities.

Speaking about the event, Fiifi Edem Dawson, Main Lead of TEDx Academic City University, remarked "This event is just the start of something bigger. We want it to be a lasting platform where new ideas and great thinking can thrive.
"We believe that ideas have the power to create change, and today, we have set things in motion, small ripples that will grow into big waves of impact in our community."
