Ideas change everything.
Ideas worth spreading, from Newcastle. Our 2026 season closed with a sold-out Signal at the Conservatorium. Thank you to everyone who filled the room. 2027 is already taking shape.
That was 2026.
Four events, one season. Relive each one through its recap and photos.
The talk the world keeps watching.
Magdalena Hoeller’s talk, “Why love is harder in a second language”, was first given on our stage. It has since been played more than 1.5 million times on TED.com and featured on the TED Talks Daily podcast. The talks from Signal are being edited now and will be published soon.
1.5M+ plays on TED.com2027 is taking shape.
More salons, more for young people, and our biggest day yet. Signal sold out, so join the list to be the first to know when tickets go on sale.

What is a TEDx event?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a programme of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. TEDxNewy is organised in Newcastle by a team of local volunteers, under licence from TED.
