TEDxVictoria: Ripples

After nearly a decade without TEDxVictoria, the event made a thrilling return in 2024 with a sold-out show at McPherson Playhouse. Attendees experienced a day of thought-provoking talks, interactive art, mindfulness exercises, and live performances that sparked curiosity and connections.

Last year’s event featured twelve dynamic speakers covering a diverse range of topics, from environmental sustainability to personal transformation. The McPherson Playhouse came alive with conversations, interactive installations, and collaborative experiences that engaged and inspired attendees.

Just a few of the highlights included a powerful opening song by the Songhees Nation’s Lək̓ʷəŋən traditional dancers, an interactive Moss Wall from VI Plant Shop, and a thought-provoking sculpture, “Sitting with Grace,” created in collaboration with Victoria’s street community. The success of TEDxVictoria 2024 proved that our community is eager for ideas worth sharing—and we’re ready to do it again.

This year, TEDxVictoria returns with Ripples, a theme that explores the profound impact of small decisions. Every action, big or small, sets off a ripple effect—sometimes planned, sometimes unexpected, but always influential. TEDxVictoria 2025 will showcase speakers who challenge perspectives, inspire change, and ignite waves of transformation, both locally and globally.

We’re thrilled to be bringing the community together again for TEDxVictoria 2025, join us on June 10th at McPherson Playhouse. With so many bright ideas in one room, we can turn discovery and shared knowledge into action.
