TEDx is a program of local, independently organized events that bring people together to share ideas worth spreading. While inspired by TED, each TEDx event is created by its own community—designed to spark connection, conversation, and meaningful insight at a local level.
TEDx is open to thinkers, doers, and storytellers from all walks of life.

Whether you’re a healthcare professional, educator, entrepreneur, artist, parent, or someone who has lived through something that changed you—your perspective matters. If you have an idea that can challenge, inspire, or shift the way others see the world, you are invited to apply.

If you have an idea worth sharing, we invite you to apply.
Your voice may be the one someone else has been waiting to hear.
Reach out. Submit your application. Step forward.
