Meet the 2026 Speakers
Our TEDxArgyleSt 2026 speaker lineup brings together a diverse group of thinkers, creators, and change-makers, each offering a unique perspective on this year’s theme, “EVOLVE.” Through their ideas, lived experiences, and bold insights, our speakers challenge us to reflect on how we grow, adapt, and transform in a world that is constantly shifting. From personal journeys of resilience to groundbreaking ideas shaping the future, each talk is designed to spark curiosity and meaningful conversation long after the stage lights fade.
