TED 2026 - Networking & Watch Party

​Get ready, Austin, because we are doing something seriously cool on April 30th. TEDxSouthCongress is hosting a TED 2026 watch party where a group of curious, driven people will gather to watch pre-release videos straight from the TED 2026 conference before most of the world gets to see them. Yes, you read that right. Pre-release.

​The lineup is stacked. We are talking Steve Huffman, co-founder and CEO of Reddit, Mark Rober, the inventor and former NASA engineer who turned YouTube into his personal science lab, Keke Palmer, Randall Lane, editor of Forbes Magazine, and a roster of other speakers who are genuinely shaping the way we think about the world right now. Each of these talks was selected because it challenges, inspires, and gets your brain firing in directions you did not expect.

​We are hosting this at the Better Business Bureau Heart of Texas office in Austin, and the vibe is very much watch party, not lecture hall. Think good energy, great conversation, and people who actually want to engage with big ideas and then talk about them out loud with other humans in the room. That is the whole point.

​The event runs for two hours, and honestly, it might be one of the most entertaining and thought-provoking hours of your April. Come ready to be surprised, maybe have your mind changed a little, and walk away with something worth talking about long after the videos end.

​Grab your spot and watch the future unfold a little early.
