TEDx Black Mountain Live

This is TEDx Black Mountain with a twist, an event built entirely around the audience experience.

At TEDx Black Mountain Live, we’re streaming the final session of TEDNext 2025 live from Atlanta, giving you the rare chance to watch real TED Talks being delivered in real time. But we won’t stop there.

Rather than simply watching passively, you’ll join NetTALK, our new format combining curated TED Talk viewing, purposeful networking, and guided reflection. Between talks, you’ll step into moderated conversations with prompts and facilitators, helping you explore ideas in your own context and share insights with others.

This isn’t just about being inspired by TED, it’s about being inspired together. By blending live TED content with community voices, and reflections, we’re creating a unique environment where ideas don’t just land… they grow.

Are you ready for TEDx Black Mountain Live?

This is your invitation to a unique TEDx experience, a vibrant space to explore what’s next for you, your work, and your community. At TEDx Black Mountain Live, we combine the energy of a real-time TED stream with panels, reflections, and conversations that help you think expansively, from the personal to the global.

Together, we’ll watch a session of TEDNext 2025 live from Atlanta, then open it up locally with our own Net-TALK format, bringing community voices into the conversation. You'll leave TEDx Black Mountain Live not just inspired, but equipped with fresh perspectives, meaningful connections, and the spark to create impact in your own world.
