TEDxMac is back.
TEDxMacatawa 2026 will return on Oct 5, 2026. We are now accepting submissions for talks & performance opportunities.
EVENT OVERVIEW
2026: Signal & Noise
Our cultural moment is overwhelmed with information, misinformation and an impossible expectation to make sense of it all. This years’ lineup of presenters will share stories around the theme of Signal & Noise – finding clarity amidst chaos.
At the convergence of technology, entertainment and design, TEDxMacatawa presents our community’s intellectual and imaginative contributions toward shaping the world of tomorrow.
What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxMacatawa, where x = independently organized TED event.
At our TEDxMacatawa event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
