TEDx events are independently organised, local gatherings that embody the spirit of TED's mission: sharing ideas worth spreading. By hosting a TEDx event in our region, we are creating an essential platform for amplifying local voices, championing innovative ideas, and bringing our community together around thought-provoking topics. This event is a vital opportunity to showcase homegrown talent, foster creativity, and inspire meaningful change. It's a unique space where thinkers, innovators, and change-makers can connect, share their stories, and spark conversations that resonate locally and globally.

Our TEDxPalmerstonNorth event is about more than just listening; it's about engaging with diverse perspectives that challenge conventional thinking, encourage new ideas, and inspire action. Whether through personal stories, groundbreaking research, or artistic performances, our speakers will push the boundaries of what we know and encourage us to rethink the world around us.

We are incredibly proud of our 2024 speaker lineup, including individuals representing a broad range of disciplines and experiences. From entrepreneurs to educators, from artists to activists, each speaker brings something unique to the stage. You can check out our full lineup by clicking here.

And of course, a huge thanks to our incredible sponsors who have made this event possible. Their support has allowed us to bring this inspiring experience to our community, and we couldn't have done it without them.
