The world faces daunting challenges. Confronting them will require us to step outside our traditional silos, find common ground, and create opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and understanding.

So, where can we connect? In The Overlap — a place at the boundaries where different disciplines, practices, and perspectives converge. It’s also that space we don’t realize we share  — the things that we have in common, that we believe in, that we care about, but that we don’t see because we’re spending so much time discussing our differences.

At TEDxJacksonville 2024, we will step boldly into the Overlap, where diverse ideas meet, experimentation and exploration are encouraged, and cross-pollination can inspire the breakthrough solutions we need.

In the Lazzara Performance Hall on the campus of the University of North Florida. The Lazzara is located in the Fine Arts Center (Building 45), 1 UNF Dr., Jacksonville, FL 32224. Parking is available in the Fine Arts Center Garage (Garage 44) adjacent to the theater building.

TEDxJacksonville’s conference is an immersive, carefully curated experience. Our speakers spend months working with our coaching team to perfect their talks, so come prepared to be both supportive and impressed.

At TEDxJacksonville, we value your commitment and curiosity. The breaks are designed to foster conversations and the exchange of ideas. You’ll be provided with coffee, light snacks, lunch, and an afterparty. To fully benefit from TEDxJacksonville, we encourage you to attend the entire program.

As with every TEDx event worldwide, we will be filming the speakers and performances for upload to the global TEDx YouTube channel, so expect to see our production crew working hard. Please respect any directions they give.

A gourmet boxed lunch or salad is included with your ticket. You will select your lunch preference when you register for the conference. Potato chips and a cookie will be included with the sandwiches and a bread roll with the salad. All lunches will include bottled water.

Lunch options include the following:

• Crispy Chicken Wrap with lettuce, tomato, sweet red onions, and honey mustard

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.)

TED is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to discovering, debating and spreading ideas that spark conversation, deepen understanding and drive meaningful change. Our organization is devoted to curiosity, reason, wonder and the pursuit of knowledge — without an agenda. We welcome people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world and connection with others, and we invite everyone to engage with ideas and activate them in your community.

TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, but today it spans a multitude of worldwide communities and initiatives exploring everything from science and business to education, arts and global issues. In addition to the TED Talks curated from our annual conferences and published on TED.com, we produce original podcasts, short video series, animated educational lessons (TED-Ed) and TV programs that are translated into more than 100 languages and distributed via partnerships around the world. Each year, thousands of independently run TEDx events bring people together to share ideas and bridge divides in communities on every continent. Through the Audacious Project, TED has helped catalyze more than $3 billion in funding for projects that seek to make the world more beautiful, sustainable and just. In 2020, TED launched Countdown, an initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis and mobilize a movement for a net-zero future, and in 2023 TED launched TED Democracy to spark a new kind of conversation focused on realistic pathways towards a more vibrant and equitable future.
