TEDxCooks Hill

On October 26, 2025, TEDxCooksHill returns with a bold theme: Reframe. In a world shaped by rapid change, entrenched challenges, and shifting perspectives, how can we look again at the stories, systems, and assumptions that define our lives? At TEDxCooksHill 2025, we invite Newcastle and the Hunter to explore ideas that challenge old lenses and offer new ways forward. Across an inspiring day at the Conservatorium of Music, you’ll hear from ten diverse speakers and performers — innovators, artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, educators, and community leaders — each offering a fresh angle on what it means to reframe the way we live, work, and connect. Expect thought-provoking talks, live performances, and immersive experiences that will spark conversation long after the event ends. As part of the global TEDx community, all talks will be shared online to a worldwide audience, amplifying Newcastle voices on the TED stage. Join us as we uncover ideas worth spreading, right here in the heart of Newcastle.
