2026 Theme

Personal Growth & Empowerment is about the moment an idea stops being something we hear — and becomes something that changes how we act.

The experience

More than a stage.

Talks, conversations and student-led workshops designed to keep ideas moving beyond the auditorium. The day combines speaker sessions with spaces to connect, create and reflect.

01 · Talks

Ideas worth sharing

Live speakers bringing original ideas and stories to the TEDxHiram Bingham School stage.

02 · Workshops

Ideas in action

Interactive experiences where attendees turn reflection into something tangible, creative or collaborative.

03 · Community

100 people, one room

An invite-only audience built to make the conversations between sessions matter just as much as the talks.

Speakers

Meet the voices.
