Regina Gonzalez, a reporter for Good Day Tampa Bay on FOX 13 News, will host the event.
She attended the University of Tampa where she graduated cum laude in 2017. Gonzalez is ecstatic to be telling stories in a city she considers her second home.
“Our goal is to ignite conversations that lead to actionable change in how we think about education,” said Dr. Emmanuel Hernandez-Agosto, SPC College of Business Dean and organizer of TEDx St. Petersburg College. “We believe this event will be a catalyst for reimagining learning in a way that prepares our children, and all learners, for the future.”
The event not only highlights speakers who foster deep discussion on topics of “Redefining Learning for the Next Generation,” but it also offers a networking opportunity platform for educators, policymakers, parents, students, and community members to connect and collaborate toward shaping the future of education. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience, where x = independently organized TED event.
What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxSt Petersburg College, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxSt Petersburg College event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
This independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED.

About TED
TED is on a mission to discover and spread ideas that spark imagination, embrace possibility and catalyze impact. Our organization is devoted to curiosity, reason, wonder and the pursuit of knowledge — without an agenda. We welcome people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world and connection with others, and we invite everyone to engage with ideas and activate them in your community.
TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, but today it spans a multitude of worldwide communities and initiatives exploring everything from science and business to education, arts and global issues. In addition to the hundreds of TED Talks curated from our annual conferences and published on TED.com, we produce original podcasts, short video series, animated educational lessons (TED-Ed) and TV programs that are translated into more than 100 languages and distributed via partnerships around the world. Each year, more than 3,000 independently run TEDx events bring people together to share ideas and bridge divides in communities on every continent. Through the Audacious Project, TED has helped catalyze more than $3 billion in funding for projects that seek to make the world more beautiful, sustainable and just. In 2020, TED launched Countdown, an initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis and mobilize a movement for a net-zero future. View a full list of TED’s many programs and initiatives.
TED is owned by a nonprofit, nonpartisan foundation. Our aim is to help create a future worth pursuing for all.
