Conscious invites us to pause, reflect, and reimagine. TEDxGeorgeMasonU 2026 is about living, thinking, and acting with awareness — not only of ourselves but also of the complex systems, stories, and relationships that shape our world.
Our theme’s name was inspired by Eastern philosophy and reggae music, both of which emphasize presence, mindfulness, and connection. We’re not limited to these origins. Instead, we aim to create an open space that welcomes a wide spectrum of ideas and perspectives.
Whether through scientific discovery, storytelling, or bold new ideas, each speaker will share their own unique interpretation of Conscious. You will be inspired to see the world, and yourselves, in a new light.
