TEDxFargo CHARGE 2026

In 2025, we introduced a two-day TEDxFargo experience and the energy was unforgettable. The conversations were deeper, the connections stronger, and the ideas more powerful than ever. We loved it (and so did you), so we’re bringing it back for 2026. Join us July 29–30 at Brewhalla for two days of thought-provoking talks, live performances, and opportunities to connect with a community of changemakers.

TEDxFargo is part of the global TEDx network, dedicated to sharing ideas worth spreading through live talks and performances. Each year, TEDxFargo brings together local voices and world-class speakers to spark conversations that matter, inspire innovation, and strengthen community connections. It’s more than an event—it’s an experience designed to challenge perspectives and ignite action.

THEME:

TEDxFargo CHARGE is about unleashing momentum: the spark that ignites ideas, the current that carries them forward, and the power that comes when we move with intention. To CHARGE is to claim your agency, to run boldly into the darkness, and to electrify the world around us. This year we explore what happens when we start generating our own energy and lead with clarity, conviction, and purpose.

ABOUT TEDxFargo

In the spirit of discovering and spreading ideas, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxFargo, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxFargo event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

ABOUT TED

TED is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to discovering, debating and spreading ideas that spark conversation, deepen understanding and drive meaningful change. Our organization is devoted to curiosity, reason, wonder and the pursuit of knowledge — without an agenda. We welcome people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world and connection with others, and we invite everyone to engage with ideas and activate them in your community.

TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, but today it spans a multitude of worldwide communities and initiatives exploring everything from science and business to education, arts and global issues. In addition to the TED Talks curated from our annual conferences and published on TED.com, we produce original podcasts, short video series, animated educational lessons (TED-Ed) and TV programs that are translated into more than 100 languages and distributed via partnerships around the world. Each year, thousands of independently run TEDx events. Through the Audacious Project, TED has helped catalyze $6.6 billion in funding for projects that support bold solutions to the world's most urgent challenges — working to make the world more beautiful, sustainable and just. In 2020, TED launched Countdown, an initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis and mobilize a movement for a net-zero future, and in 2023 TED launched TED Democracy to spark a new kind of conversation focused on realistic pathways towards a more vibrant and equitable future.
