TEDxOcala 2025

TEDxOcala is where ideas meet people-across the globe and right here at home.

While we’re officially licensed by TED, our event is locally and independently organized. That means the voices, stories, and perspectives you’ll hear are as unique as our community. Explore what’s on the horizon and revisit powerful TEDxTalks from past events.

Every journey—personal, professional, or collective—reaches a crossroads.
A moment where the way forward requires more than just moving ahead; it calls for a new direction. A decision. A transformation. A pivot.

Our 2025 theme, “Pivot” invites us to examine those turning points that redefine who we are and where we’re going. These moments—born from challenge, innovation, failure, or unexpected opportunity—aren’t merely changes. They’re choices to grow, evolve, and reimagine what’s possible.

At TEDxOcala 2025, we’ll listen to visionaries, creators, and changemakers who have embraced the power of the pivot. They’ve shifted course with courage and uncovered extraordinary outcomes on the other side. Together, we’ll discover how pivots can reshape industries, heal communities, spark movements, and transform lives.

Because sometimes, the boldest step forward begins with a single turn.
