For thousands of years, the Whadjuk Nyoongar people have lived on the lands of Boorloo (Perth) and used yarning to pass history, culture and perspectives of the future between generations.

TEDxPerth acknowledges the Whadjuk Nyoongar people as the Custodians of these lands and waterways, and extends our respect to Elders past, present and emerging.

About us

Bringing the spirit of TED to the heart of Perth

Our mission

We seek to discover and share powerful ideas that spark imagination, embrace possibility, and create meaningful change. 

TEDxPerth champions all that is remarkable, challenging and thought-provoking in Perth. 

Connect 

TEDxPerth is a community of curious people, engaging with ideas and each other.  

Inspire 

Our speakers challenge, influence, and evoke conversations that matter.   

Discover 

Audiences gain a deeper understanding of the world though curiosity and wonder.   

Harness energy 

As a not-for-profit, TEDxPerth relies on the passion and dedication of its team of skilled volunteers.   

Love the local 

We celebrate the brilliance and innovation that exists in our vibrant city. 

Create impact  

We believe that ideas can shift attitudes, transform lives and, ultimately, change everything.   

You can watch a wedding online, but it will never capture the energy and emotions of experiencing that moment in person – the same applies for TEDxPerth!
