In March, TEDxUGA 2026: Dark Mode took the stage, and what an incredible evening it was!
From Anti-Pollution Technology to Musical Wellness, seven inspiring presenters shared their passions, research, and ideas worth spreading with a global audience of more than 500 participants.
This year’s theme reminded us that the brightest ideas emerge from contrast and can take shape in the spaces we often overlook.
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 it this time, don’t worry – there is more to come. Each talk will be published on our YouTube channel this summer. But in the meantime, check out photos from the stage and behind-the-scenes!
