TEDxIssaquah 2026: Roots & Rise
Issaquah’s first TEDx is happening September 19.
Join 125 curious people for an intimate afternoon of live TEDx talks, unexpected perspectives, and conversations that continue beyond the stage.
If you’ve watched TED talks online, this is your chance to experience the difference of being in the room.
Come for the ideas. Stay for the company.
You’ll hear from 8 speakers across fields including technology, entrepreneurship, inclusion, food, aging, accessibility, and more.
Whether this is your first TEDx or your tenth, you don’t need to know anyone before you arrive. Curiosity is enough.
TEDxIssaquah: Roots & Rise
Every visible thing has an invisible half.
Roots are the long game made physical. Rise is what becomes possible when you’ve actually played it.
In a culture obsessed with speed, this event explores what takes time to build — ideas, communities, companies, health, trust, resilience, and meaningful change.
