ABOUT

Watch new TED talks together, then turn big ideas into real conversation.

Experience talks before published. And, not every talk will.

We’ll gather in one room, stream a curated set of talks from TED’s flagship conference, and make space for low‑key small‑group discussion about how these ideas land in our own lives and community.

FAQ

Your Questions, Answered

  • TED has been the space for world-changing talks, deep conversations, and bold ideas. 

    Every year, TED hosts conferences to bring together a global group of expert thinkers and doers across a wide range of fields to help share new ideas.

    This year’s conference is being held in Vancouver, B.C. April 13-17 with the theme “All of Us”. Learn more: TED2026.

  • TEDxSammamish Live is our all-volunteer, locally licensed TEDxLive event. TEDxLive events are opportunities for local communitieis to experience the flagship TED Conference without traveling to the conference itself. We gather in person to watch a curated set of talks from the TED conference, then create space for conversation and connection around the ideas shared.

  • This event is a TED on‑demand viewing experience, not a full slate of local speakers. The talks themselves are recorded at the most recent TED conference (April 2026 in Vancouver B.C.); our TEDxSammamish Live gathering focuses on experiencing a few of the talks together and making space for reflection and conversation afterward.

  • We’re planning for Saturday, May 2, with the main program from 2:00–5:00 pm. The event will be at Kirkland Woman’s Club; once you register, we’ll send exact address, parking, and accessibility details.

    General admission and youth tickets (using discount code 26TEDXYOUTH) are intended to encourage people of all ages to attend.

  • Yes! You can purchase up to 2 tickets per general admission transaction. If you’d like more, simply complete your first checkout and then return to the ticket page to make another purchase. This helps us ensure everyone’s details are registered correctly.
