Our speakers have been chosen for the 2026 event. Nominations will reopen in the summer of 2026.
TEDx University of Mississippi is an event unlike any other. We share the wonder of Mississippi—it’s innovators, creators, and thinkers. We also share illuminating ideas from outside Mississippi. Ultimately, we share an evening of curated events to spark conversation in our community and beyond.
Our team seeks new, innovative, thought provoking, or highly creative ideas. Talks should be relevant to a broad population and should not be shared on another TEDx stage.
For our 2026 event, Uncharted, we invite you to envision the world as it could be, not just as it is. We embrace groundbreaking research, frontier art and everything in between.
Please also consider what we are not. We are not a platform for religious, political, or commercial advocacy. We are not an organization that pays speakers. We are not a platform for conspiracies or weak science. And though we appreciate them, we are a not a platform for self-help coaches, unless the methods being shared are new and scientifically validated.
