What is TEDNext?

TEDNext is built for the version of you that's still becoming.

For the one who knows that real growth happens when the right idea, at the right moment, rearranges something in you — in a room full of people who push you to think bigger.

Three days of talks, workshops and conversations that give you something rare: the space to figure out who you're becoming next and a community to go there with you.

Have you ever wondered...

Am I seeing the whole picture?

Explore new perspectives that challenge you. They're often the ones that change you most.

What kind of leader do I want to be?

Discover new ways to lead with impact, even when the path ahead isn't clear.

Could I dream bigger?

You already know the answer is yes. Give yourself the permission to find out how big. 

What’s next for my career?

Step back, get a new perspective and reconnect with what actually moves you.

What you’ll get from TEDNext:

  • Breakthrough ideas from brave thinkers
  • Tools to grow with purpose — professionally and personally
  • A community that stretches you and shows up for you
  • Techniques to communicate with clarity and power

November 17-19, 2027 | The Signia by Hilton

Our 2027 Location

Atlanta, GA

We couldn't be more excited to be back in Atlanta, GA.

A cultural, historical and political powerhouse, Atlanta pulses with an energy that feels equal parts Southern warmth and fearless forward momentum. One of the most diverse and dynamic cities in the US, it's an inspired home for a gathering of people who think the same way.

Our home base is The Signia by Hilton. A modern, sunlit campus of discovery where spacious indoor and outdoor spaces invite the kind of spontaneous conversations and unexpected connections that TEDNext is known for. The talks, the workshops, the celebrations — all of it will be just steps away.

Hear from the community

 I wish I could bottle TEDNext and lavish it on like perfume throughout the year. I pay for the TED events personally and it is one of the best investments in myself... I am massively grateful for the experience and how it has contributed to me as a person.

Heather Schaeffer

This is the best conference I have ever been to. So well thought out for every aspect. I love the closeness of the speaker meetup sessions and how open everything is.

Jaclyn Brown

It doesn't matter if you are a tech person, a creative person, a philosopher, an entertainer, a scientist, a researcher, a philanthropist, a business owner, or someone who just likes learning; you will walk away with inspiration and ideas that you can take back with you to your community.

Jules Stover

The TEDNext conference was absolutely amazing — I left feeling energized, inspired, and excited to share everything I experienced... Overall, it was an incredible experience, and I’m grateful for the energy, ideas, and connections I’m taking home.
