2026 Theme

Scaling For Impact

Growth without direction is noise. TEDxAkure 2026 is about moving from isolated wins to systems, partnerships, and stories that compound—so ideas travel further and do more good for longer.

01

Reach

Designing programs, platforms, and narratives so more people encounter the right idea at the right time—not only louder, but clearer.

02

Sustain

Turning moments on stage into teams, policy, products, and culture—so impact survives the applause and the calendar turns.

03

Prove

Measuring what matters, learning in public, and doubling down on what works—so every next step is sharper than the last.
