TEDxBinghamtonUniversity was established in 2010 and has since held 11 annual conferences, hosting five to seven speakers each year. TEDxBinghamtonUniversity is organized by a team of undergraduate students and a staff advisor, and they pride themselves in involving the Binghamton University community, from having both alumni and student speakers give talks, to having student volunteers and designers work on the event. In 2020, TEDxBinghamtonUniversity hosted its first-ever hybrid virtual and in-person conference, UNEARTHED, which operated amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
