What is TEDxPensacola?

TEDxPensacola is an independently organized TED event — built by and for our community to spark conversation, surface bold ideas, and celebrate the people quietly shaping our region.

In the spirit of TED's mission of “ideas worth spreading,” TEDx is a program of local, self‑organized events that bring people together to share a TED‑like experience. Our event in Pensacola features live speakers and recorded TED Talks designed to spark deep discussion and connection.
