October 22-24, 2024 | Pullman Yards
Atlanta, GA
TED will return to Atlanta, GA, to host the first TEDNext on October 22-24, 2024 in one of the United States’ most diverse and vibrant cities. Known as a cultural, historical and political powerhouse, Atlanta's energy, warm hospitality and unique identity will make your experience unforgettable. Our venue? The historic Pullman Yards, known for its storied past and vibrant present.
Once a hub for luxury rail travel, this iconic venue has been transformed into a dynamic entertainment destination, featuring rotating exhibits, eclectic dining experiences and Emory's Science Gallery. Plus, it's been featured as the cinematic backdrops in many films. Pullman Yards was also the site where the Brotherhood of the Sleeper Car Porters operated — the first organized African American labor union.
The expansion of TEDWomen

This event will be the first of its kind, marking a thrilling expansion of the TEDWomen mission. TEDNext is our pledge to an even more extensive horizon of hope and opportunity.
TEDNext is an expansion of the TEDWomen mission. It broadens the program’s gender lens, embracing new ideas and fresh voices from all communities to engage and inspire the next generation of changemakers.
TEDWomen launched in 2010 to amplify the dynamic work and ideas of women worldwide. Since then, we've produced more than 500 TEDWomen Talks with over 500 million views and bridged the gender gap across TED’s stages and platforms.
We’re at the next chapter in our quest for change and TEDNext is our pledge to a horizon that knows no bounds.
TEDx organizers will continue to host TEDxWomen events, adding to the impressive count of more than 2000 events in more than 135 countries around the world.
Join us to reconnect with the TEDWomen community at TEDNext through community meetups, an incredible opening night dinner, Discovery Sessions and a packed Next Stage session for a wisdom exchange with multidisciplinary leaders.
