9 cities, 1 stage — who will get their idea heard by millions? Tune in March 3 2026. #TEDIdeaSearch

Some of the most interesting ideas often come from the most unexpected places. We searched the globe for ideas with the power to inspire, motivate and change lives — and we found them at @/TEDxOfficial events around the world. On our brand new series, the TED Idea Search, we’ll take you on a behind-the-scenes journey following extraordinary speakers from 9 different countries competing for the chance to take the TED main stage in Vancouver this April.

Who will get that chance? Find out on March 3, 2026.
