About this Event
TEDxStanford is back for 2026! This year, we're asking a question at the heart of every breakthrough, discovery, and transformation: what does it look like when something new takes shape?
Since 2009, TEDxStanford has brought intellectual discussions, empowering stories, and fresh ideas to the Stanford community. As an independently organized TED event hosted on Stanford's campus, we share intellectual discussions, empowering stories, and fresh ideas to the Stanford community.
This year's theme — Emergence: From Insight to Impact.
New ideas, identities, and innovations arise around us every day. Scientific breakthroughs quietly building in labs. Cultural shifts forming at the intersection of communities. Personal turning points that redirect entire lives. Emergence happens constantly but often unexpectedly, and rarely in a straight line.
TEDxStanford 2026 celebrates the surprising, often overlooked moments when something new begins to take shape. From the emergency room, to the Royal Ballet, and to the Miss USA stage—our speakers will bring to life the stories of what can emerge from insight to impact.
