TEDNext 2024 — the very first iteration of TED’s newest flagship event — features not one but two stages where attendees are immersed in new ideas and perspectives in a journey of discovery. The “Next Stage” breaks our traditional style of speakers on the red circle delivering their ideas to the audience in favor of a more interactive, debate-oriented approach, set in a beautiful (and comfortable!) theater-in-the-round.
Below, enjoy a photo roundup from the Next Stage at TEDNext 2024 — and look out for videos from this special space coming soon to TED.com.
