TEDxAccra is pleased to announce their partnership with award-winning, premium, streaming platform CEEK VR, for an unprecedented virtual reality experience.

After a five-year hiatus, TEDxAccra is planning on making an unforgettable comeback promising a highly curated interactive virtual experience for CEEKERS, thanks to CEEK VR!

“We are excited to partner with CEEK for what promises to be a unique and immersive experience for audiences,” noted Kojo Terry Oppong, organiser of TEDxAccra. “We also wanted to make sure that this experience was available to all, and thanks to CEEK’s free streaming, this will be a reality!”

“TEDxAccra and CEEK is an organic partnership”, said Mary Spio, Founder and CEO of CEEK VR. “CEEK is pioneering audience virtual experiences globally and partnering with TEDxAccra is a natural step in advancing our mission of helping event creators produce exquisite direct to fan experiences in the virtual world.”

The speakers for this year’s TEDxAccra are already generating buzz and excitement. They include Eugene Ayisi, Founding Director, Dominion Capital, Ivy Prosper, Founder and Owner, Prosper Creative Group, Max Rivera, Head of EMEA Expansion, SNAP Inc., Bernard Sokpe, Co-Founder of Brandmeister and Ripple Influence, Amma Gyampo, Co-Founder and CEO, Scale up Africa, and Jacqueline Jones, Head of Strategic Partnerships For Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging, LinkedIn, with more to be announced.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
