TEDxPUP

It always starts with a moment. A thought you didn’t expect. An idea that lingers… and suddenly, you’re not the same. TEDxPUP 2026 is a gathering of those moments. Born as the first independently organized TEDx event by students of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines – Manila, it is a space where ideas don’t just inform—they move you. With the theme “Love at First Idea,” we celebrate that instant spark, when a story, a question, or a breakthrough captures your heart and opens new ways of seeing. Through powerful talks and shared experiences, we invite you to fall in love… not with people, but with ideas worth spreading.
