About
TEDxGosport
We’re back on the 5th September 2026.
The theme in 2026 is CONNECTION.
TEDxGosport is an independently organised event in the spirit of ideas worth spreading, The X simply means independent with the aim of bringing people together to share a TED-like experience.
At a TEDxGosport, TEDTalk videos and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx programme, but individual TEDx events are self-organised. TEDxGosport is a non-profit. We are managed and operated by volunteers.
Watch above and find out more about the theme of connection.
