Ideas Worth Exploring.
Conversations Worth Having.
For over a decade, TEDxLausanne has created experiences designed to spark curiosity, meaningful dialogue, and unexpected encounters across disciplines, cultures, and generations.
We bring together thinkers, builders, artists, scientists, entrepreneurs, and curious minds around ideas that challenge, inspire, and move the world forward.
From climate and technology to creativity, science, design, leadership, and society, we believe the future is shaped when people step outside their usual circles and engage with new ideas.
TEDxLausanne and TEDxLausanneWomen — two bold, distinct gatherings united by one mission: ingniting conversations and elevating perspectives to reimagine what’s possible.

Join us to redesign our future
Innovation, digitalisation and technological progress are transforming, reshaping and challenging life as we know it from every angle - and at accelerating speeds.
So what does that mean for our future? While we can't know for sure, we do know that one of the best ways to predict the future is to create it.
TEDx Lausanne's speakers are exploring the ideas, innovations and knowledge that will shape our future in new and exciting ways.
Great ready to dream, explore and reimagine our future.
What is TEDxLausanne
Since 2010, the TEDxLausanne community seeks to extend the TED experience at a regional level.
TEDxLausanne has hosted 18 events, given the opportunity to more than 100 amazing people to share their ideas through outstanding talks, thanks to the work of more than 200 volunteers and leading to hundreds of thousand views of our videos across the world.
Our mission
We are a team of passionate volunteers who are curious about everything and aim to promote ideas worth spreading in Lausanne and in Switzerland.
We celebrate human inventiveness, creativity, and resourcefulness while promoting a well-intended, positively oriented mindset.
By supporting TEDxLausanne, you contribute to create synergies between innovators, forward-thinkers, and agents of change in Lausanne and everywhere in the world, inspiring positive actions to change our lives for the better.
What is TEDx
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
Our event is called TEDxLausanne, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxLausanne event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.
The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
This independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED
