The first day is the perfect time to meet fellow TEDsters and make long-lasting connections. Begin your week with a Discovery Session to dive deeper into an area of interest or take part in a bucket-list experience. Sit in on the first session of TED Talks, then gather with friends old and new at the welcome reception.

Gear up for an exciting day of TED Talks and Discovery Sessions where you’ll get a sample of ideas that’ll encompass the week. In the evening, join a Dine Around dinner to engage in thought-provoking discussion at restaurants around Vancouver.

Continue your journey of inspiring talks, expert-led workshops and experiences. Discuss ideas at a Braindate, a peer-led small group discussion on a topic of your choice. After an action-packed day, enjoy an open night to spend however you like.

Between sessions, meet up with your conference network and explore our uniquely curated exhibits which feature an array of new discoveries, innovations and ideas. Then, close out the last night at a sensational celebration party filled with energy, excitement and dazzling surprises.

Friday morning will begin with an incredible final speaker session to sum up and commemorate the week. Before you head home, enjoy a farewell lunch and embrace moments of connection and reflection with the TEDsters you now call friends.
