TEDFest

TEDFest is an opportunity to meet TEDxers from around the world while watching the live-hosted TED program in New York City. Exclusively programmed for the entire TEDx community, TEDFest joins the best of TED with all that New York has to offer.

TEDFest 2020

The health and safety of our attendees is our top priority. In light of the global spread of the COVID-19 virus, TEDFest will not be held in 2020. While we are heartbroken to share this news with you, we are planning on bringing TEDFest back in 2021. If you’re registered for TEDFest 2020 and haven’t heard from us about this change, please contact us. We are passionately working to continue to connect the community throughout the year - and if you are a TEDxer, join the TEDxHub to be a part of our programming.
