Tickets are now available for TEDxAtlanta 2026 and the inaugural TEDxAtlanta Youth conference, taking place Oct. 2–3 at Atlanta International School’s Sandy Springs campus.
Centered on the theme “Bold. Brave. Unbreakable.”, TEDxAtlanta will bring together innovators, entrepreneurs, creators, artists, community builders, and systems thinkers for a weekend of talks and presentations.
The 2026 season also marks the debut of TEDxAtlanta Youth, dedicated to elevating youth voices and ideas. Designed for speakers ages 16 to 23, TEDxAtlanta Youth will showcase the perspectives of a generation coming of age amid rapid advances in technology, shifting social norms, economic uncertainty, and opportunities for impact.
“Some of the most important ideas about the future are coming from the generation that will live that future longest,” Jacqui Chew, TEDxAtlanta licensee, said in a statement. “TEDxAtlanta Youth creates a platform for young people to contribute their ideas, challenge assumptions, and help shape the conversations that will define the decades ahead.”
TEDxAtlanta Youth will take place on the afternoon of Oct. 3, immediately following the TEDxAtlanta MainStage program.
In addition to launching TEDxAtlanta Youth, the organization is expanding its conference experience through the introduction of Explore Sessions.
Designed to complement the TED-style talks, Explore Sessions give attendees opportunities to engage more deeply with ideas through conversation, participation, and hands-on learning.
Explore Sessions 2026 are organized around three thematic tracks:
Whole Health — exploring wellness, resilience, and thriving personally and professionally in a changing world.
Bold Capital — examining entrepreneurship, investment, innovation, and ideas that power economic growth.
Common Ground — creating space for dialogue about the future of the metro Atlanta region, civic life, and the connections that strengthen communities.
