We’re excited to host our 13th annual event at the Capitol Theatre, featuring solutions from local presenters to one of the most critical issues of our time: climate change.

We’re thrilled that the TED organization chose TEDxSaltLakeCity as one of only 18 TEDx events worldwide to be a TED Countdown Anchor Event for 2025. TED Countdown is a global initiative aimed at accelerating solutions to the climate crisis. As a Countdown Anchor Event, TEDxSaltLakeCity 2025 will amplify this mission, curating a unique local experience that highlights actionable solutions and sparks meaningful discussions on climate change.

 

 

 

TEDxSaltLakeCity Returns for its 13th annual event as an Anchor Event for the TED Countdown Global Initiative, Highlighting Local Climate Solutions and Innovations.

On Monday, September 22, 2025, TEDxSaltLakeCity will take center stage at the Capitol Theatre, uniting visionary thinkers, innovative problem-solvers, and influential leaders to address one of the most critical issues of our time: climate change.

TEDxSaltLakeCity is returning on September 22, 2025, this time with a uniquely important focus—highlighting innovative, local solutions to address climate change. Event organizers Joanne Gallagher and Jennafer Martin spoke about this year’s event, which has gained national recognition as Salt Lake City was selected as one of only two American cities, along with Baton Rouge, to host a TED Countdown anchor event.

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxSaltLakeCity, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxSaltLakeCity event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
