Step Into the Red Circle: Becoming a TEDxOMAHA Speaker
Please note this TEDxOmaha Salon will be hosted in the KANEKO Library on the West side of the building on 12th Street.
Join us on Thursday, August 14, 2025 at 6 p.m. for our next TEDxOMAHA Salon here at KANEKO.
Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a TEDxOMAHA speaker? How do people go from idea to stage, and what happens behind the scenes to make it all come to life?
This month, we’re pulling back the curtain.
You’ll hear how ideas are shaped, how speakers are chosen, and what makes an idea stand out. Whether you’ve dreamt of taking the stage yourself or simply want to understand what makes TEDx talks so powerful, this conversation will offer a rare, behind the scenes look.
Our host David Gillis invites you to an evening of exploration, honesty, and inspiration on Thursday, August 14, 2025, at 6 p.m. at KANEKO.
About TEDxOmaha
TEDxOmaha is an independently organized TEDx event. As a part of the global TED community, we connect locally to explore the ideas and situations that affect our cultures, environments, and minds. Most people are introduced to this remarkable collection of human experiences through recorded TED Talks. Through technology, we can hear stories of discovery, heartache, joy, introspection, and imagination from some of the world’s most amazing people. By creating events in Omaha, we produce an experience based on TED’s principles.
Who attends TEDxOmaha? Five hundred of our community’s most curious, forward-thinking people. Activists, artists, philanthropists, modern-day philosophers, policymakers, stay-at-home parents, and more. You, too, can gather with amazing people from our region who share their insights and accomplishments. It helps us witness what is happening – and what is possible – so we can be inspired to take bigger steps together. TEDxOmaha is held annually in October and offers monthly TEDxOmahaSalon events at The KANEKO.
