About this Event
The TEDx Global Idea Search is coming to London. This one-time event is your chance to experience the TED magic that captivates millions of viewers worldwide.
Step behind the scenes of TED for an exclusive intimate evening hearing from 10 finalists hoping to take their idea worth spreading to the TED 2026 main stage in Vancouver. Join fellow idea enthusiasts to discover the next viral TED talk, before it hits the global stage.
The evening is your chance to connect with the TED community and meet fellow Londoners who are excited by ideas that shape our future.
Spaces are very limited. Join us and become part of TED's global movement for transformative thinking.
WHAT IS THE TEDx GLOBAL IDEA SEARCH?
In partnership with nine TEDx organizers, TED is holding nine Global Idea Searches in 2025. Anyone with an idea worth spreading can apply. Each search will culminate in a spectacular in-person event showcasing remarkable ideas from that region. One speaker from each event will be invited to give their talk live at the TED conference in Vancouver in April 2026. Find out more.
WHO IS SPEAKING?
The deadline to apply to speak at the TEDxLondon Global Idea Search has passed. We are working with the TED team to shortlist up to 10 speakers who will share the ideas from the TEDxLondon stage - more details to follow.
Doors will open at 6pm
The event will start at 6:30pm
