About Us

What is TEDx?

We have held over 50 TEDx events in Nairobi, Kenya, since 2009 including TEDxWestlands Salon.

Our mission is to create a high-impact, world-class TEDx experience that amplifies Kenyan and African ideas and innovations, while fostering meaningful connections, collaboration, and collective action within our team and community.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDxNairobi is part of TED’s TEDx 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. These events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but TEDxNairobi events are organized by local volunteers.

TEDx program started in 2009 and more than 3000 events are held annually.

What is TEDxNairobi?

TEDxNairobi is an independently organized TED event, held by a group of passionate volunteers who believe in the power of ideas worth spreading.
