TEDx Larchmount Village

A Stage for Ideas That Ignite Transformation

 

The TEDx stage has always carried with it a singular kind of power: the power to amplify voices that might otherwise remain unheard, to elevate ideas that can shape the future, and to bring together diverse communities under a single vision—change. As we prepare for TEDx Larchmount Village, we stand at the threshold of something extraordinary. This event is not just another conference or gathering—it is a declaration that the times we live in demand courageous voices, bold thinking, and a collective readiness to step up and step out.

​

The Kind of Speakers We Are Seeking

 

We are searching for speakers who live at the intersection of passion and purpose. TEDx Larchmount Village will feature thinkers, doers, creators, and visionaries who can illuminate paths forward in the midst of the world’s most pressing challenges. We welcome:

• Innovators and Inventors who are reshaping industries, technologies, and communities with solutions that disrupt the ordinary and advance human potential.

• Social Change Leaders who are fearlessly addressing inequities, advocating for justice, and reimagining what society can be when dignity and compassion come first.

• Scientists and Scholars who can translate complex research into insights that inspire and mobilize action.

• Artists and Storytellers who move hearts as well as minds, bridging the gap between knowledge and feeling with their creative expressions.

• Everyday Heroes—individuals who, through resilience and determination, demonstrate the extraordinary capacity of ordinary people to spark meaningful change.

We are not just looking for polished

presentations—we are seeking authentic voices. The ones that carry conviction born of experience, the ones that dare to propose radical solutions, the ones that can speak truth to power while also extending hope to humanity.

The Power of the TED Stage

​

To stand on a TEDx stage is to stand at a crossroads between personal truth and public witness. It is a place where a single story can ripple outward to change the trajectory of countless lives. It is a stage where vulnerability becomes strength, where research becomes revelation, and where innovation becomes inspiration.

​

TEDx is more than an event; it is an ecosystem of ideas worth spreading. Talks given in a room of a hundred can travel to millions. Words spoken in fifteen minutes can echo for decades. For many, the TEDx stage is not the culmination of their work but the launching point for the next chapter of their impact.

​

This is the platform where local voices join a global chorus, adding their unique resonance to a movement that insists the future is not yet written—and that together, we can write it differently.

​

The Times We Live In

​

We are living in times that test our courage. The challenges are vast: climate crises, social upheaval, injustice, displacement, and technological revolutions that demand ethical foresight. Yet within these very challenges lies opportunity—the opportunity to rise to our highest potential as thinkers, dreamers, and builders of a new tomorrow.

​

TEDx Larchmount Village is a response to this moment. It is an invitation for individuals to step out of the shadows of fear and into the light of possibility. It is a call for leaders who are willing to risk comfort for truth, for innovators who are willing to fail forward, and for communities ready to come together in pursuit of something larger than themselves.

​

Why This Matters

​

TEDx "The Transformation Talks" is not just about filling seats; it is about filling hearts and minds with ideas that matter. The talks delivered here will live beyond the day, traveling across digital platforms, classrooms, and communities. They will become sparks—sparks that may light fires of action, collaboration, and transformation.

​

The times we live in demand nothing less than our best, our boldest, and our bravest. The TEDx stage gives us the vehicle. The speakers we invite give us a voice. And together, we create the future.

​

✨ Join us—whether as a speaker, a partner, or an attendee—and be part of a movement that insists on stepping up, stepping out, and speaking truth into a world that needs it now more than ever.
