Picture yourself at a conference like no other—where your next chapter comes alive through talks, immersive workshops, excursions, dinners, parties, art and music.

You’re invited to connect, dream and aspire alongside others who will challenge and inspire you to become who you’re meant to be.

Your conference experience

A 3-day program

Be the first to hear TED talks live from 45+ speakers in the TED Theater, ask the big questions at the Next Stage, and discover performers that will delight and surprise you.

Actionable learnings

Chart your course with unique learning opportunities, workshops and activities. Deepen your knowledge on a specific theme or skill set to get just what you need.

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).

Dinners + parties

Engaging dinner conversations spark meaningful connections, leading to lifelong friendships—and yes, plenty of dance floor moments with your new friends.

Powerful connections

Meet fellow thinkers, dreamers, creators and visionaries to share your own ideas and aspirations. This kind and generous community offers you support, wisdom and potential collaboration as you write your next chapter.

Access to TEDConnect

This award-winning networking app will be your conference companion. Personalize your schedule, view the attendee and speaker list, and use it year-round to send messages and stay connected.
