Dorpat conference center

Dorpat konverentsikeskus

The first TEDxTartu will take place in the Dorpat conference center, located at Turu 2 (in the TASKU center).

We chose the Struve I hall, where all of our 100 participants would fit nicely and the Speakers are close enough for a discussion with them.

About the Fee

TEDxTartu is a non-profit event. To cover the organizing costs we have found some friends and supporters. But their support is not enough to cover all the costs.

This is why we have a fee of 200 EEK.
