TEDx events are independently organized, community-driven gatherings inspired by the spirit of the global TED conference. The “x” in TEDx represents a local, self-organized event that brings people together to share ideas worth spreading. These events typically feature a mix of live speakers, recorded TED Talks, and interactive discussions, all designed to spark meaningful conversations and foster connection within the community.Akure is about to ignite with bold ideas and powerful stories once again. TEDxAkure 2025 is officially around the corner, and this year’s theme couldn’t be more timely: “Growth: From Zero to One.”
As the world shifts and adapts in extraordinary ways, this edition of TEDxAkure calls on innovators, change-makers, and everyday people to reflect on the humble beginnings that lead to exponential impact. It’s a celebration of small sparks that ignite significant transformations in our communities, businesses, education, and the human experience.
TEDxAkure isn’t just another conference; it’s a curated experience of deep conversations, soul-stirring performances, and idea-driven talks that challenge, inspire, and empower. Whether you’re a student with a dream, a startup founder navigating early-stage challenges, or a creative seeking new perspectives, TEDxAkure 2025 is where you’ll find voices and visions that resonate.
This year’s theme, “From Zero to One,” is about taking the first bold step. It’s about navigating doubt, daring to begin, and choosing growth in the face of uncertainty. Speakers will share stories of resilience, innovation, and transformation from local leaders and rising talents, as well as thinkers who have built something meaningful from nothing.
Since its inception, TEDxAkure has served as a platform for community, collaboration, and the cross-pollination of ideas. It has amplified voices that needed to be heard, sparked connections that have led to real change, and shone a spotlight on Akure as a growing hub of creativity and leadership.
In a world brimming with noise, TEDxAkure offers clarity, a space to pause, reflect, and be reminded that progress begins with a single idea shared with courage.
TEDxAkure 2025 will take place on August 30. You can expect an exciting lineup of speakers, performances, and opportunities to connect with people who, like you, believe in the power of ideas.
Whether you’re joining as an attendee, volunteer, partner, or sponsor, this is your opportunity to be part of something bigger than yourself. At this moment, the next generation of changemakers takes center stage.
Growth doesn’t always begin with a grand gesture. Sometimes, it starts with one word, one step, or one story.
Join us at TEDxAkure 2025 as we go from zero to one together.
