THEME: REBIRTH —Rebirth is an invitation to begin again—with intention, imagination, and courage. In 2026, TEDxBend returns at a moment of profound change, when individuals, communities, and ideas are shedding what no longer serves them and making space for what’s possible next. Rebirth is not about erasing the past, but transforming it—reframing failure as fuel, disruption as opportunity, and endings as necessary beginnings. On the TEDxBend stage, this theme comes to life through bold ideas and diverse voices that explore renewal in all its forms: personal, cultural, environmental, and collective. This event will allow people to examine how moments of rupture can spark creativity, resilience, and lasting action—and how choosing to begin again can shape a more thoughtful, connected future.
