BE PART OF SOMETHING THAT CHANGES LIVES!
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised 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.)
Our goal is to bring together bright minds to give talks that are idea-focused, and on to test your ideas a wide range of subjects, to foster learning, inspiration and wonder – and provoke conversations that matter. To find out more about the Tedx program click here

“Ripples of Change”
Saturday 24th October 2026 Dylan Thomas Theatre Swansea
Ideas have the power to change the world.
TEDxSwansea returns on Saturday 24th October 2026 with this year’s theme, Ripples of Change—exploring how a single idea can inspire individuals, transform communities and influence the world beyond.
Every breakthrough, movement and innovation starts somewhere. A conversation. A challenge to conventional thinking. A moment of curiosity. A courageous decision to act. Like a ripple across water, the impact of one idea can spread further than we ever imagine.
This year’s event will bring together an exceptional line-up of speakers sharing ideas across science, technology, health, education, social innovation, business, sustainability, creativity and the arts. Each talk has been selected to inspire, provoke thought and encourage meaningful conversations long after the event has ended.
TEDxSwansea has built a reputation for showcasing world-class speakers alongside remarkable local voices whose ideas resonate on a global stage. It is a celebration of innovation, creativity and the belief that everyone has the potential to make a difference.
Whether you’re a business leader, entrepreneur, student, educator, researcher, artist or simply someone who enjoys exploring new ideas, TEDxSwansea is an opportunity to learn, connect and be inspired.
Join us as we discover how today’s ideas become tomorrow’s change.
