TEDxWilmette 2025 Theme Contest

Win 2 tickets to TEDxWilmette 2025!

Dear TEDxWilmette Community,

Get ready to ignite the next big conversation. We're already excited about TEDxWilmette 2025 and want you to be at the heart of it.

​

Your chance to shine

We're searching for the perfect theme to spark groundbreaking ideas and inspire our speakers. Submit your theme idea, including a tagline and a 1-2 sentence description, and if it's chosen, you'll snag two tickets to our signature event!

 

Think big, dream bold.

Your theme should be like a captivating title – something abstract, open to interpretation, and broad enough to encompass a range of incredible talks. 

 

Need a little inspiration?

Check out some of our past themes to get your creative juices flowing:

  • 2022 All In | Creating positive change in ourselves and our community

  • 2023 Why Not? | We constantly ask ourselves why we should do certain things. This would focus on asking "Why Not?" and taking risks / stepping out of our comfort zones.

  • 2024 The Future is Now | We explore various topics, from climate to AI, media to healthcare, and more.

 

Ready to make your mark?

Head over to this form and submit your theme idea today.

We can't wait to see what you come up with!

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDX. TEDx is a local, self-organized event program that brings people together to share a TED-like experience.

Our event is called TEDxWilmette, where x = independently organized TED event.  At our TEDxWilmette event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.

The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TED program, but individual TEDX events, including ours, are self-organized.
