TEDxOMAHA 2025 CALL FOR SPEAKER APPLICATIONS

WHAT'S NEXT AT TEDXOMAHA?


The call for speakers for TEDxOmaha 2025 is now open! Applications close March 30th—are you ready to share your idea?


NEXT is more than just a word—it’s a challenge, an opportunity, and a question waiting to be answered. A simple four-letter word packed with infinite possibilities. It embodies progress, anticipation, and transformation, yet it can also signal uncertainty, disruption, or the unknown.


For some, NEXT is the future—breakthroughs in AI, medicine, and space exploration. It’s the next innovation in sustainability, climate solutions, or urban design. It’s the discoveries in science, art, and education that will reshape how we live, work, and connect.


For others, NEXT is deeply personal—the next chapter after adversity, the next step in growth, or a reinvention of identity. It’s about cultural shifts, societal change, and the evolving story of humanity. It sparks tough questions: What’s next for democracy? For inclusion? For ethics in the digital age?


But what stands in contrast to NEXT? Is it stagnation, resistance, or nostalgia? Sometimes, standing still is a choice. Sometimes, looking back is necessary before moving forward. NEXT dares us to reflect, reimagine, and take action.


TEDxOmaha is seeking bold, thought-provoking voices from diverse industries, disciplines, and perspectives to explore what’s NEXT—expected or unexpected.


Apply today! Share your #IdeaWorthSpreading, explain why you are the voice for it, and connect it to the theme of NEXT.


Applications close March 30th.

Our Mission: Spread ideas

TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. On TED.com, we're building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers — and a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at TED and TEDx events around the world, all year long.
