TEDxPortsmouth brings the spirit of TED’s mission of ideas worth spreading to the Seacoast for a full day of inspiring speakers, rousing artistic performances, and great local food. This once-a-year event is where the Seacoast comes together to connect and explore big ideas — science, the arts, the environment, humanity, entrepreneurship — in a shared experience emphasizing community, conversation, and inspiration.
“I have already recommended TEDx Portsmouth to colleagues and friends. It was an inspiring experience. Every year I say “That was the best TEDx I’ve ever been to.” And every year it gets 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 TEDxPortsmouth, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxPortsmouth 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.
