Discovery Sessions

Not all great ideas are shared from the stage; some require closer exploration and participation. At TED, ideas come to life in expert-led sessions, workshops, activities and excursions — all curated with an understanding of what makes these sessions sing (yes, sometimes literally).

What it's like to attend TED

It was one of the best things that happened to me. It felt like my safe space where I was inspired and also sometimes inspired my fellow TEDsters.

Varshini Kannam

I cannot wait to be part of a future TEDNext conference! I left truly inspired, filled with ideas and actionable insights… You simply can't leave a TED conference unchanged.

Samantha Newey

I want to come back. I also want to bring my team with me! This was a dream and an awesome experience! I'm still on cloud nine.

Chelsee Young

It was AMAZING + TRANSFORMATIVE.

Patrice Brown

I thoroughly enjoyed the layout, ambiance, and the discussion topics at TEDNext Stage. The setup really fostered a sense of engagement and comfort. I particularly loved the bean bags—they added a fun and relaxed element to the experience. It truly enhanced the atmosphere and made discussions feel more inviting.

TEDNext attendee

It exceeded my expectations. I anticipated the talks would be fantastic, but I did not anticipate the warm, inviting atmosphere and a place to connect with other people on a meaningful level.

Christopher Lockhart

While some people go to rock concerts, I go to TED Conferences.

Andrea Driessen

I was never good at small talk and starting conversations but the warmth and interest TEDsters showed put me at ease. I discovered a whole new version of me at the conference. I also made special bonds and teared up before departing 🥹 I just love the TED world. It is a safe place for me.
