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

Because there is so much uncertainty about when and how the world will begin to open up, we have made the decision not to move forward with TEDFest 2020 at this time. While our primary concern is your health, we also don’t want to burden you, our volunteer community, with making plans that might have to be canceled.

If you have any questions about TEDFest, please email us at tedx@ted.com.

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.
