Zach Harris

Project manager, Student

I Co-Organise TEDxTUDublin, where I help to bring powerful ideas to life through speaker curation, storytelling, and audience experience. With a background in events management. I focus on shaping ideas into messages that connect, inspire and leave a lasting impact both on stage and online.

I’m passionate about creating opportunities for people to share ideas that matter and spark conversations. Whether it’s organising a TEDx event, leading student initiatives or fundraising for a great cause, I enjoy building experiences that bring people and communities together and have a tangible impact

Student-Led initiatives have more power than people think. When given responsibility, students don’t just participate they lead,create and come together to deliver work that can rival professional standards. While learning so much along the way. Platforms like TEDx prove that ideas and impact aren’t limited by age or experience, but by the willingness to take initiative.

I didn’t start college thinking I’d be organising a TEDx event. Like most students I focused on figuring things out and balancing college and work. What changed was getting involved. Through roles like Student Ambassador and then Lead Student ambassador. I saw how much impact students can have when they’re trusted with real responsibility. From learning skills through coordinating orientation weeks and fundraisers in the past. I now bring all of that together along with my education to Co-Organise TEDxTUDublin. TEDx isn’t just an event for me it’s a platform. Where people are given a voice to challenge perspectives and spark conversations.Leading teams across marketing, operations, partnerships and production has shown me that great ideas only matter if they’re executed well and that takes people trust and teamwork. My TEDx story ain’t about having it all figured out. It’s about saying yes to opportunities, learning by doing, and then realising that impact doesn’t come later, it starts with taking initiative now.

Leading under pressure and making things happen behind the scenes. From Coordinating teams to solving last minute problems, I’m good at keeping projects moving and turning plans into reality, especially in fast paced event environments.
