Theme

Visible. Possible.

At its core, Visible. Possible. is about the quiet power of becoming and the shift from hidden effort, unheard voices, and unspoken questions to bold visibility and tangible change. It is where what we carry within meets what the world needs to witness.

This theme is about unfolding potential—transforming thought into conversation, experience into expression, and action into lasting impact. When possibility becomes visible, it has the power to move communities and inspire change.

  • Unfold ideas, make them actionable.
  • Turn experience into expression.
  • Convert action into lasting impact.
How Our Speakers Will Explore the Theme

Unfold. Express. Change.

Unfolding purpose. Making it actionable.

Innovations in sustainability, AI, menstrual health, or mental wellness that have moved from ideas to community impact.

Unfolding talent. Making it expressive.

Stories of artists, poets, or athletes who found their calling, and how their journeys unfolded when given space to be seen.

Unfolding truth. Making it resonate.

Breaking silence around grief, bullying, class divides, or academic anxiety, by sharing experiences that spark empathy and hope.

Unfolding systems. Making change visible.

Talks that reimagine education, leadership, climate, or accessibility, and explore how innovation in thought can lead to tangible impact.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

Discover. Share. Connect.

In the spirit of discovering and spreading ideas, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

About TED

Ideas Worth Spreading

TED is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to discovering, debating and spreading ideas that spark conversation, deepen understanding and drive meaningful change. Our organization is devoted to curiosity, reason, wonder and the pursuit of knowledge — without an agenda. We welcome people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world and connection with others, and we invite everyone to engage with ideas and activate them in your community.

TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, but today it spans a multitude of worldwide communities and initiatives exploring everything from science and business to education, arts and global issues. In addition to the TED Talks curated from our annual conferences and published on TED.com, we produce original podcasts, short video series, animated educational lessons (TED-Ed) and TV programs that are translated into more than 100 languages and distributed via partnerships around the world. Each year, thousands of independently run TEDx events bring people together to share ideas and bridge divides in communities on every continent. Through the Audacious Project, TED has helped catalyze more than $3 billion in funding for projects that seek to make the world more beautiful, sustainable and just. In 2020, TED launched Countdown, an initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis and mobilize a movement for a net-zero future, and in 2023 TED launched TED Democracy to spark a new kind of conversation focused on realistic pathways towards a more vibrant and equitable future.
