About the event
This year’s TEDx Black Mountain theme, Beyond the Obstacle, invites us to reimagine the role of challenges in shaping our lives, our ideas, and our world.
Obstacles aren’t just in the way, they can be the way. But what if we went further? What if we explored not only how challenges shape us, but also what lies beyond them?
From personal challenges to every idea, every piece of art, and every breakthrough in science or technology, each encounters a moment of resistance. That unexpected barrier forces us to adapt, reimagine, and push forward. Sometimes that moment defines the journey; other times, it reveals an entirely new path we could never have imagined.
TEDx Black Mountain will bring together an extraordinary lineup of speakers, performers, and innovators to share stories of resilience, reinvention, and transformation.
