TEDx University of Leeds 2026 Convergence

TEDx University of Leeds | Riley Smith | 16 June 2026

What happens when disciplines stop talking past each other and start listening?

TEDx University of Leeds returns on 16 June 2026 with a day of ideas that refuse to stay in their lane. Powered by Leeds University Business School, this year's theme is Convergence — a collision of worlds across technology, the arts, defence, ecological science, public health, entrepreneurship, and cinema.

Expect extraordinary speakers from the frontlines of their fields: a dance pioneer, an AI expert, a Royal Marines Commando, a botanist, a public health researcher, a startup founder, and a filmmaker. Each with a story that cuts across boundaries.

The day also includes a dedicated networking opportunity, a chance to connect with fellow attendees, speakers, and thinkers from across disciplines.

Doors open at 9:00am. Talks begin at 10:00am.

See you there!!!
