TEDxABQ is a volunteer-powered movement inspired by the global TED mission. Encompassing the greater Albuquerque, NM metro area, it aims to fulfill its mission as a dynamic platform that unites diverse thinkers and doers across the region.
TEDxABQ invites Albuquerque into a playground for curiosity, where diverse ideas collide and charge our city’s future.
We want to create a thriving ABQ+ where ideas, creativity, and collaboration fuel innovation and transformation.
We do this by celebrating curiosity as a journey, and inviting our community along for the ride! —fostering an inclusive space (everyone’s welcome!) where diverse thinkers connect, explore, and share powerful ideas that create ripples of local and global change.
Our Team
Since its inception in 2010, TEDxABQ has always been a volunteer-driven organization. Our volunteers do everything from speaker selection, event coordination and volunteer management to marketing, fundraising, and graphic design.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, 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 in a small group. 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.)
