Welcome to TEDxAtlanta. Since 2009, we have been the city’s premier platform for ideas, fostering a community of thinkers and doers dedicated to driving positive change.
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.
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.
Our mainstage events are much more than listening to talks in the theater. It’s the first step to building deeper connections and taking action.
We gather Atlantans together to collectively unleash the transformational power of stories and ideas. We know that ideas can change everything because they have changed us.
We bring together new friends, allies and voices to nuture vibrant communities, igniting a movement driven by the sharing of impactful ideas and compelling stories.
Fueled by joy, hope and curiosity, the ideas and experiences we curate empower you to take action on the most pressing issues of our time.
TEDxAtlanta is built by the community, for the community. Here is how you can play a part in our next chapter.
