TEDx brings the spirit of TED to communities around the globe, created in the spirit of TED’s mission to research and discover “ideas worth spreading.” Launched in 2010, TEDxHouston is one of the 4000+ annual TEDx events organized independently under license from TED, led by passionate people who seek to uncover new ideas and spark conversation in their communities. 

Our next event is TEDxHouston COUNTDOWN, inspired by the collaboration powered by TED and Leaders’ Quest. Since its launch in 2020, TED Countdown has mobilized the world’s boldest problem-solvers to address climate impacts being felt across communities everywhere — from rising energy costs to severe weather. The shift to a cleaner, healthier and more affordable future is already underway. Our mission is to accelerate that momentum by changing the narrative through compelling storytelling, identifying and scaling high-impact solutions, and building collaborative community by bringing people together across sectors and regions.
