TEDxUoA 2026 presents: CUTTING THROUGH THE NOISE

We live in a world overflowing with information, opinions, algorithms and constant noise. But amongst it all, some ideas deserve to be heard.

Cutting Through the Noise brings together seven diverse speakers and two captivating performers, each bringing different stories, perspectives and ideas to the stage.

Join us for a day of thought-provoking talks, meaningful conversations and creative performances that challenge us to look beyond the distractions, question what we take for granted, and pay attention to what truly matters.

Whether it’s an idea that changes the way you think, a story you’ve never heard before, or a perspective that stays with you long after the event ends, we hope you leave with something worth carrying forward.
