Best of TEDNext 2025: Curated highlights from Atlanta's transformative conference. 2 hrs of inspiring talks - Nov 22, Faulkner Gallery
About this Event

Best of TEDNext 2025

Can't make it to Atlanta? Join us for a curated showcase of the most powerful talks from TEDNext 2025.

TEDNext brought together 45+ visionary speakers exploring what's next—for leadership, growth, and how we navigate a rapidly changing world. From this three-day experience, I've selected two hours of the talks that hit hardest: the ones that shift how you see your work, your choices, and your path forward.

This isn't just about big ideas on stage. It's about the conversations that happen after, the connections you make, and the questions that stay with you long after you leave.

What You'll Experience:

  • 2 hours of curated TED Talks from TEDNext 2025
  • A community of curious minds exploring what's next together
  • Time for conversation and connection
  • Complimentary admission

When: Friday, November 22, 12-3pm
Where: Faulkner Gallery, Santa Barbara

Whether you're reimagining what's possible in your field or asking thorny questions about where you're headed, these talks will give you ideas you can act on.

Free event. All are welcome.
