TEDxWollongong: Lookout

TED is the global stage where world-changing ideas are born, shared and launched into the stratosphere. It’s where Sir Ken Robinson reshaped how we think about creativity (over 80 million views), where Brené Brown cracked open the conversation on vulnerability, where Simon Sinek taught millions to “Start With Why,” and where Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie reminded the world of the power of storytelling.
And now, that same electric, world-class energy lives right here on the South Coast with TEDxWollongong – a fiercely local platform delivering global-level ideas.
TEDxWollongong presents Lookout.
Set against the backdrop of our escarpment and coastline, TEDxWollongong is where homegrown thinkers, innovators and storytellers step into the spotlight to inspire not just our region…but the world.
From the iconic red dot in Vancouver to the viral talks that dominate your social media feed, TED is where scientists, artists, rebels, CEOs, activists and everyday geniuses step up to share ideas that change culture.
Because it’s not just a talk – it’s a moment, a movement, and a launchpad for ideas worth spreading…from Wollongong to everywhere.
