TEDxSavannah, an independently organized celebration of ideas worth spreading based on the international TED talk phenomenon, will return in 2024 with an exciting half-day showcase featuring a diverse group of local speakers focusing on the theme of Convergence. Tickets are currently available at tedxsavannah.com.

The highly anticipated 2024 TEDxSavannah event will take place on Thursday, May 16, 2024 from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Fine Arts Auditorium at Georgia Southern University’s Armstrong Campus, located at 11935 Abercorn St. in Savannah, Ga. Doors will open at noon.

“Our 2024 theme of Convergence hints at the dynamic quality of our post-pandemic experiences and follows last year’s theme of Connection,” said TEDxSavannah organizing committee member Karla Jennings. “We invite local residents, students, teachers and nonprofit leaders to attend our 2024 event and to join the growing TEDxSavannah community.”

The 2024 TEDxSavannah event will feature thought-provoking talks by area residents and thrilling live performances. Each TEDxSavannah speaker is limited to a maximum of 12 minutes to present an interesting talk influenced by the theme and of interest to the Savannah community. Live talks will be filmed and posted on the TEDx Talks YouTube channel, which has more than 39 million subscribers, following the event.

“TEDxSavannah is more than an annual event. It’s a powerful source of inspiration, a vibrant community and a dynamic place to network with Savannah-area leaders and influencers,” said TEDxSavannah organizing committee member Clinton Edminster. “Tickets to the 2024 event are currently on sale and make wonderful holiday gifts for friends, family and coworkers.”
