New date. New deadline. Big news on both fronts! 🎤

TEDxNewHaven is officially heading to the Omni Hotel and Conference Center in March 2027 — and to make sure we find every incredible voice our community has to offer, we've extended the speaker nomination deadline to September 30, 2026.

We already have countless nominations from around our community and state, and we're eager to bring all that New Haven has to offer to the TEDx stage.

If you know a leader, innovator, or changemaker with an idea worth spreading, this is your chance to put them forward. Great ideas deserve great platforms.

🔴 We're looking for phenomenal speakers. Know anyone? 🔴

TEDx New Haven is returning this November, and we're looking for speakers with ideas worth spreading. Do you know someone with a bold perspective, a story that shifts how we see the world, or expertise that deserves a bigger stage? Nominate them — or nominate yourself. We welcome both.

This year's theme is "Questions That Need Answers."

We're seeking voices across disciplines: artists, scientists, organizers, entrepreneurs, educators, and everyday people with extraordinary insight. What matters most is the idea — one that's fresh, well-developed, and rooted in something real.

Nominations close August 20, 2026.

What a day. 🔴✨

TEDxNewHaven 2025 brought together an audience ready to think bigger, feel deeply, and imagine boldly.

From the Flint Street Theater stage, our speakers unpacked The Greatest Issues of Our Time—challenging perspectives, sharing stories of resilience, and sparking conversations that will stay with us long after the lights dimmed.

Thank you to every attendee who filled the room with curiosity and energy, to our brilliant speakers for sharing their stories, and to our sponsors, volunteers, and incredible emcee for making this day possible.

Here’s to the ideas that moved us—and the actions they’ll inspire next.

💭 Some questions shape our world quietly. Others send shockwaves that reach us all.

• Could family child care (FCC) educators hold the key to repairing a broken system and driving shared prosperity?

• What does it mean to survive an act of gun violence when the echoes of that moment never fade?

Join us at TEDxNewHaven as our speakers uncover bold, compassionate ways to confront society’s most pressing challenges — and imagine what healing and prosperity could look like if we listened differently.

✨ At TEDxNewHaven, we’re asking the big questions that shape how we live, connect, and make meaning.

• How might public art challenge dominant narratives about community identity and belonging?
• How might reclaiming ancestral traditions reshape the way we process grief and care for the dying?
• How do we find genuine connection in a world that never stops buzzing?

Join us as our speakers dive into these urgent issues—uncovering fresh insights on public art, grief, and the future of human connection.
