TED Idea Search – Event Page Header

In 2025, TED and TEDxLondon were on a mission to find the best ideas and speakers from across the globe.

In partnership with nine TEDx organizers, TED held nine Global Idea Searches, where anyone with an idea worth spreading can apply. 10 finalists based in London came together in November 2025 to share their ideas worth spreading. One lucky speaker chosen to speak on the TED Stage this year – Gabriella Di Laccio.

The evening brought together the TEDxLondon and TED community to celebrate ideas that are shaping our future, including themes like AI and music, the manosphere, green criminals, invisible infrastructure, culture and belonging and much more.
