Friends of TEDxZurich

Ideas bring us together. Experiences bring us closer.

Beyond the mind.

Curiosity is only the beginning.

Some ideas stay with us long after the conversation ends. They change how we see the world, how we relate to others, and sometimes, how we choose to live.

Friends of TEDxZurich is a community built around shared experiences. A series of intimate, thoughtfully curated gatherings that bring people together beyond our main events. Different settings, different perspectives, and new ways to connect with ourselves and with others.

Friends of TEDxZurich brings the physical dimension into our world of ideas. An invitation to step outside familiar settings, experience something new, and turn curiosity into connection.

What to expect

  • Intimate, thoughtfully curated gatherings
  • Different settings and perspectives
  • Experiences co-created with trusted partners
  • New ways to connect with ourselves and others

Life Cycles 2026 / 2027

Curated touchpoints across the season.

Our gatherings follow the three chapters of the TEDxZurich Life Cycles — Roots, Movement and Preservation — each exploring a different dimension of what it means to be human.

Each chapter inspires a changing programme of intimate experiences, shaped by the people, places and ideas within our community. These connections are carefully facilitated and co-created with our most trusted partners, who open up their worlds of ideas to our community.
