TEDxSarasota

Last night marked the return of TEDx to Sarasota after 10 years… and what an incredible evening it was.

A huge congratulations to all of our speakers. The dedication, passion, and months of preparation you brought to that red dot truly paid off. We witnessed 10 unforgettable talks. You were genuinely Making Waves.

To our phenomenal MC, Robyn Faucy, thank you for guiding us through the evening with such energy, presence, and fun.

Thank you to Mayor Debbie Trice for opening the event and for her continued support of bringing ideas and community together in Sarasota. Thank you to all of our sponsors for your contributions. And a big thank you to Florida Studio Theatre for providing this amazing venue.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who joined us. We intentionally designed this as a general admission experience to spark more than just great talks. The goal was connection. New conversations. Fresh perspectives.

And you delivered.

The energy in the theater was something truly special. We’re incredibly grateful to have shared that with all of you.

It will take a few weeks for the talks to be published on YouTube. Follow this page to stay updated, or subscribe to our email list: tedxsarasota.beehiiv.com
