Why TEDx Black Mountain Live?
We’ve put this together because we don’t just want another event in Belfast. We want an experience that stays with you.
What You’ll Experience
Panel 1
Brand You
How do you show up in the world? This panel dives into personal branding, marketing, and storytelling — giving you practical ways to position yourself with confidence in business and life. It’s about finding your voice and making sure others hear it.
TEDNext 2025
Live Stream
Experience the buzz of TEDNext as it happens, streamed live from Atlanta. You’ll hear world-class TED speakers share fresh ideas and bold perspectives, in real time. Then, together, we’ll reflect on what these ideas mean for us here in Belfast and beyond.
Panel 2
Ideas Into Action
Talks are powerful, but what happens next matters more. This panel takes global ideas and translates them into local action, with speakers reflecting personally and professionally on how TED insights can reshape our work, our communities, and the choices we make every day.
Panel 3
Connected & Well
Being successful isn’t just about what you do — it’s about how you sustain yourself and who you surround yourself with. This conversation explores wellbeing, authentic networking, and the power of community, helping you balance growth with resilience and meaningful connection.
Are you ready for TEDx Black Mountain Live?
This is your invitation to a unique TEDx experience, a vibrant space to explore what’s next for you, your work, and your community. At TEDx Black Mountain Live, we combine the energy of a real-time TED stream with panels, reflections, and conversations that help you think expansively, from the personal to the global.
Moments That Changed Us
At TEDx Black Mountain’s debut in June, under the theme of ‘Dare to change’, bold voices like Carl Frampton, Amy-Mae Dolan, Phil Graham, Shelley Cowan (and many more) lit up the stage with powerful stories of resilience, creativity, and change.
We created more than an event, we built a community. A space where people from West Belfast and beyond came together to listen, reflect, and connect through ideas worth spreading.
This year, we’ll keep that spirit alive as we continue to ask the hard questions, spark new conversations, and discover what lies beyond the obstacles, together
