TEDxLakeShoreDrive

TEDxLakeShoreDrive is happening on Jan 30, 2026, at The Metropolitan Club, and we would love to have you!

Come to be surprised by what you see, hear, experience, and share. By stories that start in familiar places and then quietly turn, revealing something you didn’t expect to notice: it's about memory, about care, about choice, about connection, and about how we relate to the systems we build. Some moments will feel intimate. Others will feel unsettling in the best way. You’ll hear voices that explore what fades, what fractures, what binds us together, what we let go of, and what we carry forward, even when the ground shifts beneath us. This isn’t about trends or talking points. It’s about the human moments hiding in plain sight—and what happens when we finally pay attention.

Each in-person ticket includes admission to the event, lunch, entertainment, full-day networking, and a post-event reception. Not to mention the unlimited selfies and all the spectacular views you can take. Cash bar is available.

For this exclusive event, we are curating the experience to make it as engaging and impactful as possible. Please fill inthe ticket application here to apply to attend.
