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, Oct. 23, 2025 at 6 p.m. for a TEDxOmaha Salon featuring Blake Harris — one of our 2024 main stage speakers and the founder of Skatefest Omaha.
Blake’s work reflects a powerful truth: boundaries are meant to be pushed, barriers are meant to be broken, and those who don’t fit the mold are often the ones who change the world.
This is more than just a talk. It’s an evening of ideas, meaningful conversation, and community. Don’t miss your chance to be inspired and challenged to think differently.
We hope you can join us on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025, at 6 p.m. at KANEKO (please enter through the Library Entrance on Jones Street).
Seating is limited, so register soon to secure your spot.
We hope to see you there!
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.
