For the 2026 edition of TEDxGeneva (save the date: November 21st at the Salle de Plainpalais), we invite you to actively participate in selecting our theme. A TEDx theme is the common thread that guides the entire edition. It provides direction for the ideas, speakers, and conversations of the day. A good theme inspires, provokes thought, and brings together diverse perspectives around a shared vision.
It is the starting point for ideas worth spreading.

Space is both ours and foreign.
At once intimate and public, present in our thoughts and in our actions.
Space divides us and invites us. It can be shaped and adjusted, yet also left free, without intervention.
Space may require colossal efforts to explore, even though our imagination alone can suffice.
And yet, we must navigate between all these forms. How do we do so?
Integrities of code, integrities of law.
Integrities of the spirit, integrities of the call.
Integrities of silence, integrities of the voice.
Integrities of the body, integrities of the soul.
Integrities of the broken, integrities of the whole.
