TEDxIssaquah 2026: Roots & Rise

​We live in the age of the speedrun. And yet the things we admire most — old-growth forests, great cities, durable democracies, lasting companies, healthy children — were all built on a clock most of us no longer keep.

​Join us at TEDxIssaquah on September 19, 2026. A day about what happens when we lengthen the clock. Roots are the long game made physical. Rise is what becomes possible when you've actually played it.
