BIOGRAPHY
Amul Patel is the Program Director of TEDxTempleUniversity 2025 — the logistical force behind the event’s seamless execution and dynamic stage presence. A Temple University graduate with a degree in Political Science, Amul is driven by a passion for structured storytelling and purposeful design.
In his role, Amul leads the creation of the run-of-show, manages backstage coordination, and ensures that every speaker transition feels natural and impactful. With a calm and thoughtful approach to leadership, he works closely with teams across production, curation, and tech to bring clarity and flow to the event.
Amul sees TEDx not only as a platform for powerful ideas but also as a meticulously built experience — one that relies on trust, timing, and intention. His background in civic engagement and university affairs informs his ability to bring people and processes together with focus and empathy.
Outside of TEDx, Amul is passionate about policy reform, event design, and community-driven innovation. His vision is one where precision meets purpose — and where every moment on stage is crafted to connect.
