Ten speakers compete for a single chance to present at the TED main stage.
In short: Ten Chicagoans take the stage for six minutes each to pitch transformative ideas. This TED Idea Search showcases diverse projects, from precision medicine for endangered species to tools for navigating difficult conversations, all vying for a spot at the main TED conference in Vancouver.
The event highlights a range of innovative approaches to modern challenges. One participant, a chemist, explores using precision medicine to protect endangered wildlife. Another speaker, a journalist, develops practical methods for managing complex interpersonal dialogues. A third individual uses running as a medium to challenge perceptions of a divided city by traversing every street within its limits.
This competition, produced by WING London, serves as a high-stakes platform for local thinkers. The ultimate prize for the winner is a coveted opportunity to present their concept on the main TED stage in Vancouver.
