✨ WHAT'S INCLUDED
TEDxNashvilleWomen: Wired (August 21, 2025)
An afternoon of bold ideas, electric energy, and real connection.
TEDxNashvilleWomen: Wired is where powerful stories meet purposeful relationships. We’re bringing together women who are redefining what it means to lead, create, and thrive in today’s wired world—across generations, industries, and identities.
But Wired is more than talks—it's a space to connect.
This year, we're launching a mentorship initiative designed to help ideas turn into action through human connection.
MentorUp: Ideas Rising
Whether you’re ready to guide or grow, MentorUp makes it easy to connect. Red lanyards, passion cards, and purposeful conversations—this is where ideas rise together.
TEDxNashville: The Future of Joy (October 19, 2025)
Exploring joy as a revolutionary, but sometimes evasive force.
At TEDxNashville: The Future of Joy, we’re diving deep into what joy really means—where we find it, how we lose it, and why it just might be the most radical tool we have for building a better world.
The Future of Joy invites us to rethink how we live, lead, love, and connect.
Big ideas. Intimate settings. Deep connection.
The TEDxNashville Spotlight Series is where curiosity meets community. These salon-style gatherings happen throughout the year and are designed to spark meaningful dialogue around timely, provocative, and deeply human topics.
It's like getting 6+ events for the price of 1.
So far in 2024 and 2025, our Spotlights have explored everything from personal growth to public impact, including:
– The Art of Letting Go with Katie Pruitt, blending music and story around the power of release
– What We Wish Everyone Understood About Women’s Health with Dr. Lara Harvey
– How to Get More Women into Boardrooms with Jocelyn Mangan
– What Makes a Good Op-Ed with David Plazas
– The Future of Healthcare with Edmund Jackson and Alex Jahangir
– How Music Contributes to Human Health with Crystal Rose and The Music Cognition Lab
– How to Tell Your Story Like Never Before with Michael McRay, hosted at The Finch
And we’re just getting started. Upcoming Spotlights include:
– Automating Your Life – a practical, playful look at how systems and tools can free us to focus on what matters most (May 12)
– A collaboration with TENx9 – a special night of true, personal stories told live (June 30)
– Addictive Leadership – a bold talk from TEDxNashville’s most-viewed speaker on the hidden hooks of influence (July 8)
You’ll also experience member-only dinner series, happy hours, exclusive performances , and other unforgettable moments with TEDx speakers and Tennessee's vibrant TED community—all designed to go beyond inspiration and into real connection.
Each Spotlight is a chance to slow down, tune in, and explore the ideas shaping our lives—with the people shaping our community.
What It Means to Be a Business Ally
This isn’t a sponsorship package. It’s a statement of belief.
As a TEDxNashville Business Ally, your only commitment is to purchase a minimum of 5 TEDxNashville memberships—for your team, your clients, or those you want to invest in.
Why?
Because the most future-forward leaders know that sending people into rooms where bold ideas are blooming pays off.
You don’t need perks. You need your people thinking bigger.
Why It Matters
✅ You’re sending your people into a curated community of entrepreneurs, thinkers, and artists.
✅ You’re aligning your brand with a movement of purpose-driven leadership.
✅ You’re showing up—not just with money, but with belief in the power of ideas.
TEDx isn’t about entertainment. It’s about transformation.
And yes—once you're in, we’ve got tools to amplify your voice:
- Business Ally badge for social, web, and storefront use
- Visibility in our app and newsletters
- Invitations to select gatherings and mentorship events
- Access to curated content and team learning tools
But those are just extras.
The real ROI is what your people bring back to your business: insight, energy, and connection.
