Experience TEDxURI
TEDxURI brings big ideas to the world stage through the inspirational voices of our community and beyond, and our speakers challenge us to think bigger than ourselves, participate in shaping the future, and do our part in protecting the planet.
TEDxURI Sunday, March 1, 2026.
TEDxURI brings people together around a theme: a common thread between speakers and a catalyst that helps shape the conversations we have that day. For 2026, the theme is “Now That’s Funny”.
Join us for an afternoon of surprising insights, unexpected laughter, and thought-provoking ideas at TEDxURI 2026. This year’s theme, “Now That’s Funny,” explores humor in all its forms—funny ha-ha, funny strange, and everything in between.
From curious observations and unusual discoveries to moments that made someone stop and think, “That was funny—why?” our speakers will share fresh perspectives that challenge how we understand humor, oddity, and the unexpected. These are not stand-up routines or punchlines, but illuminating stories and ideas that are insightful, entertaining, and deeply human.
Prepare to be amused, surprised, and inspired by talks that reveal how humor can spark connection, shift perspectives, and uncover truth in the most unexpected places.
