TEDxOshkosh 2025

TEDxOshkosh Returns for a Ninth Year - Live, Local, and Open to the Public!

We believe in the power of a great thought, the resonance of an idea, and the discussions they prompt. A great thought is what led us to create TEDxOshkosh. We invite you to join us at the historic Grand Oshkosh to listen to speakers with great ideas worth spreading, and engage with our community in conversation.

All registrations include

• Up-close and personal opportunity to hear from awesome live speakers
• An unreserved seat (by seating section) for the entire day at the Grand Oshkosh
• Catered lunch
• Breakfast snacks and beverages
• Snacks and beverages at mid-morning and mid-afternoon breaks
• A "swag" bag of TEDx goodies to take home

TEDxOshkosh Background & Other Information

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxOshkosh, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxOshkosh event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

With the exception of registrations made under a discounted student price (which require a current student ID), there are no ID requirements for admission. TEDxOshkosh is suitable for people of high school age or older.

There are numerous areas to park in the vicinity of The Grand Oshkosh, both in marked parking lots and in marked street parking spaces. For details, see the City of Oshkosh Downtown Parking Guide (pdf - opens in new tab). Any parking violation citations are the responsibility of the auto owner.

It's easy! Just send email to [email protected].

We know plans can change, and we want to be flexible for you. Your first option - and we're sure you'd be thanked for it - is to give your registration to a friend. They can use it in your place, although we'd like you to edit the registration to change the name so we can print a correct nametag. We also offer the option for a full refund up to 7 days before the event. While we'd like to allow refunds after that, our financial commitment to our caterer prevents us from doing so.
