PAST EVENTS
WE ARE ENTERING AN ERA OF UNIQUE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES DRIVEN BY ASTONISHING AND RAPID CHANGES.
To thrive, we humans will have to raise our game. We must figure out the best forms of collaboration and confidently reassert the values that truly, deeply matter.
TEDxStLouis The Brave and The Brilliant is a celebration of a future worth having and those leading the way with creativity, ingenuity, courage, wisdom, and generosity.

Two Steps Forward
We all know that when it comes to global gender equity, there's still so much work to be done. It's time to reset, to rethink, to collectively imagine different ways forward.
This year we’ll joyfully celebrate those taking bold strides into the future, those working unapologetically to make big dreams become reality. Whether working on new models of equity and inclusion or blazing trails as pioneers, this year's speakers demonstrate luminous new thinking and ideas designed to enchant, uplift and inspire us all.
Take Two Steps Forward with TEDxStLouis this fall.

IMAGINE THAT
Imagine a world where a hospitalized child’s path to recovery is no longer filled with anxiety and isolation but with hope and interactivity. Imagine a world where music is a fundamental part of connecting with ourselves and others. Imagine a world where women take their rightful place in the history and future of auto racing.
WE NO LONGER HAVE TO LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THESE STORIES ARE JUST THE STUFF OF OUR IMAGINATIONS.
They are quite real, and they are coming to you on the TEDxStLouis stage this spring.

BEYOND WORDS
At some point in the last three years you’ve probably felt that indescribable feeling — overwhelmed, yet bored; exhausted, yet restless; distracted, yet hyper aware. Three years of isolation, unrest, and political division will do that to a person. And leave you feeling numb and unable to articulate anything.
WHEN WORDS FAIL, WE MUST GO BEYOND WORDS
At this year's live-and-in-person TEDxStLouis Innovation event, we’ll hear from some St. Louis’ greatest thinkers, entrepreneurs, and doctors as they go beyond words.

What Now?
What a time this has been! So… now what?
The past year has upended so much for so many, and forced global reckonings with systems, processes and policies that too often let us down.
At this year's live-and-in-person TEDxStLouisWomen event, we'll hear from our city’s revolutionary leaders who are imagining new possibilities and exploring new ideas. Our event will spotlight the talent and forward-thinking nature of the women that make our city shine. We'll learn the "what now?" in fields including design, entertainment, technology, science and culture.

Big Change / Little Change
How do we make an impact on the world?
We can disrupt and cause transformational, sweeping change at a global scale. But we can also affect the world on a micro level, making a difference in our own backyards. Both types of change are to be celebrated and sought after. Hear from TEDx speakers making both big and little changes to the world around them.

Pivot
St. Louis, and the world, is at a pivot point.
To pivot is to shift. A change, but not a complete re-do. Keep one foot planted, but change direction. A pivot is usually intended to help recover from a tough period. Think about the current state in new and interesting ways. Reimagine & think more broadly.

Ripple Effect
A drizzle to a torrential downpour. A ripple to a wave. An idea to a revolution.
We believe every individual has the ability to change the world, and it can start with just one idea. Experience the Ripple Effect of local thought-leaders sharing their one great idea, the drop of water that cultivates a wave of change and transformation. TEDx events provide intentional, cross-pollinated networking opportunities that spark new perspectives and build connections – sending ripple effects of possibility throughout the St. Louis region.
