About the event
What is TED and TEDx?
TED
TED is a non-profit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, often in the form of short talks delivered by leading thinkers and innovators across various fields.
TEDx
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event.
TEDxDavangere 2026 will be held on 27 September 2026. This will be our 3rd annual TEDx conference in Davangere.
