TEDxRaleigh PLAY 2026! Spark curiosity, creativity, and connection.MORNING!

Inspired by the global TEDxPlay initiative, this event explores the transformative power of play—not as something reserved for children, but as a mindset that fuels innovation, imagination, learning, and human connection.

Music, Games, Dance, Discovery, Social, Art and so much fun!

Through thought-provoking TEDx talks, interactive experiences, engaging activities, and unexpected moments of discovery, attendees will be invited to explore new ideas, challenge assumptions, and reconnect with their sense of wonder.

PLAY celebrates the idea that some of life's greatest breakthroughs happen when we experiment, create, collaborate, and allow ourselves to be curious. Whether through hands-on activities, artistic expression, games, movement, conversation, or inspiring stories, TEDxRaleigh PLAY creates opportunities to experience ideas rather than simply hear them.

Join innovators, creators, leaders, educators, artists, entrepreneurs, and lifelong learners for a day filled with inspiration, imagination, and meaningful connections.

Come ready to think differently.
Come ready to engage.
Come ready to PLAY.

TEDxRaleigh PLAY — where ideas, curiosity, and creativity come to life.
