TEDxCharlotte

The mic is live. The stage is set. The silence? It’s over. TEDxCharlotte returns with a new era of ideas and we’re not here to play it safe. The 2026 theme: Terms & Conditions. Because everything you believe… Everything you accept… Everything you don’t question… Comes with fine print. From the contracts we sign to the systems we live under …it’s time to ask: What are we agreeing to without even realizing it? This is your invitation to say it out loud. To challenge what's unspoken. To confront the assumptions running Charlotte on autopilot. We're only opening speaker applications to those who live in Charlotte and the Charlotte Metro Area.
