Speak at TEDxKelvinbridge 2026.
This September, we’re bringing 100 people together in the West End of Glasgow to trace the small changes that led to something big — and to name the tipping points defining our time.
Applications close 17 July 2026
Where we’ve been, where we are, what comes next
The world is changing fast. AI is reshaping how we work, clean energy how we power our lives, and the way we connect and care for our health looks nothing like it did a generation ago. None of it happened overnight — every major shift started small, building quietly until something tipped.
We’re looking for speakers across energy, AI, health, and society & relationships who can take us on one journey through their field:
Where we’ve been
The quiet starting points — the early signals and small beginnings most people missed.
Where we are
The threshold we’re at now — what’s actually changing in your field, and why it matters.
What comes next
The tipping point ahead — where this is heading, and what we should expect from it.
We’re not looking for the most polished speaker in the room — we’re looking for people who know their field well enough to trace that thread clearly.
What to expect as a speaker.
A talk of up to 18 minutes on the stage in the heart of Glasgow’s West End.
Structured coaching from a former TEDx speaker throughout the whole process.
A full dress rehearsal before the event, so nothing on the day is a surprise.
An intimate audience of 100 — curious, engaged, and there to listen.
Applications are open to anyone, with a particular welcome for voices from Glasgow and the surrounding area.
