TED2025: Humanity Reimagined

What are Humans for?

With so many familiar roles now slated for re-invention, we won’t overcome the challenges of our time with traditional ideas or expected thinking.

Instead, we must marshal every ounce of our creativity, imagination and curiosity to picture a world we can look forward to.

At TED2025, we’ll convene those who can show what human flourishing might look like in the years ahead, whether enabled by AI’s superpowers, revolutionary biological technology or new visions of human creativity, kindness and connection.

Will humanity rise to the challenge? The future seems at once exciting and terrifying. The only thing we know for sure is that it can be amazing.

Heard at TED

"This was my first TED. I went in search of inspiration and came away with so much more. Truly an amazing experience that I hope to repeat again every year."

Joshua Baillon

“It was a once-in-a-lifetime, transformative experience. The greatest minds in an open, ego-less forum. I learned so much and feel inspired to be a better human.”

Danielle Coppola

“I believe my life, thus far, can be described in two ways - my life before TED and my life after TED. This was an incredibly inspiring, emotional, and humbling week that I felt privileged to be a part of. It is hard not to feel like I have more responsibility in my life to be a local leader and to be a more genuine and kind person after hearing so many passionate stories from individuals both on and off the TED stage. It is an experience I will never forget, and I hope I will be able to attend in the future.”

Mike Lambiaso

“This has been the best thing to happen to me professionally for 20 years. I needed to be surrounded with bright, engaging and challenging (in a good way) minds.”

Sandra Thompson

“This was the most immersive and thought-provoking week of my life. I've wanted to attend a [TED] conference for years and am so happy I finally made it … TED helped reignite the fire in me to be better, do better, and do work that will impact the world for the better.”
