Last month, Destination: TEDxUGA 2025 took the stage and what an incredible journey it was! From the Dream Job Fallacy to Shorebird Conservation, seven inspiring presenters – including our first-ever Athens community member – shared their passions, research, and ideas worth spreading with a global audience of more than 700 participants.
This year’s theme reminded us that the paths we take and the connections we make shape our experiences in powerful ways, and when these ideas take flight, we’re all changed. TEDxUGA once again proved that the journey is just as meaningful as the destination.
We would like to extend our thanks to everyone who helped make this event possible. From our sponsors, TED Fam, audience, and more, we truly could not have done it without you! If you couldn’t make the trip this time, don’t worry—the journey isn’t over. Each talk will be published on our YouTube channel in the weeks to come. In the meantime, check out photos from the stage and behind-the-scenes!
