About the event
Get ready for an evening of inspiration, innovation, and brilliant storytelling at the TEDx Black Mountain Adventure Speaker Competition.
This is more than a competition, it’s a chance to hear ideas worth sharing, told simply and powerfully, and to be in the room as new voices take their next step towards the TEDx stage.
What to expect
🌟 The Speak-Off Final
Watch 16 outstanding finalists deliver fast-paced, engaging talks, no slides, just story and substance. Each speaker has only a couple of minutes to share one clear, thought-provoking idea aligned with the TEDx Black Mountain theme, Beyond the Obstacle.
