Growing Reputation.

Don’t just walk the Rainbow.
Come shape the future.

TEDxAarhus is part of the global TEDx network, meaning we’re an independently organized event licensed by TED.

This allows us to bring the renowned TED experience directly to our local community.

It’s a curated platform for short, powerful talks, videos, and workshops.

Growth looks and feels different
for everyone.

A slow and steady burn. A sudden spark. Built from scratch, earned over time, brought together by a crowd. This year’s theme invites you in to explore the dynamic of growth and the reputation that follows. Right here in Aarhus: the perfect backdrop to gather minds within research, nature, technology, culture, creativity, and all the things you didn’t even know were growing. A slow and steady burn. A sudden spark. Built from scratch, earned over time, or brought together by a crowd. Growth doesn’t look the same twice, and neither does the reputation that follows it. This year’s theme at TEDxAarhus is about exactly that: the many shapes growth takes, and what it actually costs, or earns, along the way. Sometimes it’s a non-linear career. Sometimes it’s an idea that popped up at 4am. Sometimes it’s an untraditional skillset.

We invite you to explore all of this, right here in Aarhus. A city continuously gathering momentum in research, nature, technology, culture, by people who make all of it worth paying attention to. Because growth rarely happens alone. Call it an ecosystem. Call it a community. Call it whatever you want. On November 7th, that’s exactly what we’re doing: bringing people together to explore what growth looks like, feels like, and means, from ants and beer, to memes and belonging. Join us, and be part of it.

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
