Invisible forces
Shaping our lives, societies and workOslo, February 26, 2026
What shapes us—without us even noticing?
We’re looking for voices that points out new directions, challenge assumptions, tell comfortable – or uncomfortable – truths. We are curious about what’s hiding in plain sight. Whether it’s in the body, society, technology, or thought—invisible forces are everywhere.
This year, we’re especially seeking perspectives from outside the usual bubbles. That means:
- You don’t have to be a “speaker”—but you should have lived it.
- You don’t have to agree with us—but you should be honest, thoughtful, and bold.
- We don’t want shock value—we want truths we’ve been avoiding.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of discovering and spreading ideas, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.) Read more
