TEDxOMAHA 2025 NEXT:  Nine inspirational thought leaders from our community take to the Red Circle to share their Ideas Worth Spreading.

Creighton University Heider College of Business

Join us on Friday, October 3, as 2025 TEDxOmaha Speakers share what NEXT is in their words and worlds. Provoking us all to think about the NEXT in our culture, work, lives and what role we and others play in shaping it.NEXT is more than just a word—it’s a challenge, an opportunity, and a question waiting to be answered. A simple four-letter word packed with infinite possibilities. It embodies progress, anticipation, and transformation, yet it can also signal uncertainty, disruption, or the unknown.NEXT is the future—breakthroughs in AI, medicine, and space exploration. Innovation and design, discoveries in science, art, and education that will reshape how we live, work, and connect.NEXT can be deeply personal—the next chapter after adversity, the next step in growth, or a reinvention of identity. It’s about cultural shifts, societal change, and the evolving story of humanity. It sparks tough questions: What’s next for democracy? For inclusion? For ethics in the digital age?But what stands in contrast to NEXT? Is it stagnation, resistance, or nostalgia? Sometimes, standing still is a choice. Sometimes, looking back is necessary before moving forward. NEXT dares us to reflect, reimagine, and take action.Join us at the Creighton University Heider College of Business for an evening of inspiring talks, innovative ideas, and thought-provoking discussions. Get ready to be immersed in a diverse range of topics presented by engaging speakers from various fields.
