TEDxAtlanta 2026
we believe ideas can ignite movements. That bold thinking fuels brave action. And that an unbreakable spirit can, and will, reshape our world.
Atlanta has always been a city of firsts, of founders, of fire—and of rising from it. In that spirit, the TEDxAtlanta 2025-2026 season culminating in the mainstage conference—TEDxAtlanta 2026—to be held in the spring of 2026 celebrates those who dare to dream bigger, build smarter and rise stronger.
The Bold, the Brave, the Unbreakable is more than a theme. We pay tribute to the visionaries, reformers and systems thinkers redefining what’s possible across Georgia’s most vital industries: from fintech to film, biohealth to education, cleantech to cybersecurity. We spotlight the doers, disrupters and storytellers who meet complexity with clarity and challenge with courage.
2026 Ideas Search
We want to hear from makers building in uncertainty, storytellers speaking truth to the power, thinkers and researchers rewriting the rules, and the communities rising together, again and again because unbreakable doesn’t mean untouched, it means tested, tempered, and still unstoppable.
