9 cities, 1 stage — who will get their idea heard by millions? Tune in March 3 2026. #TEDIdeaSearch

My name is Reggie Watts and my life changed forever when I got the opportunity to speak at TED. Now TED is searching the globe for ideas that could change everything. Nine TED X events around the world. Giving a global voice to the unknown. 6 minutes that can inspire, motivate, and change their lives forever. But that's not all. — Coached by an expert panel, one lucky speaker will be surprised with the opportunity of a lifetime. A chance to speak on the TED Main stage and have their voices heard by millions. — It's just so exciting. — Wow. — This is exactly the opportunity to reach out to millions of people. — It's the biggest stage in the world. It's bigger than any dream. There were a bunch of people that were reading their scripts. — Small punch lines. — I think there's a lot of work to be done. — No, no clip notes. — Can I start again? — This I cannot. — It blew me away. — Wow. — I'm really sorry. So big. — This is the TED idea search.
