TEDxABQ 2025 Event: Curiosity
Saturday, September 27
Electric Playhouse | Albuquerque, NM
Step into the unexpected. This year, TEDxABQ returns with Curiosity—a bold, immersive reimagining of the TEDx experience that blends whimsy, wonder, and world-class ideas.
Doors open at 12:00 PM for check-in and exploration. The main event kicks off at 1:00 PM and runs through 6:30 PM, featuring 14 speakers across three engaging sessions, with playful breaks, food options, and curiosity-driven experiences between each.
Then from 7:00–9:00 PM, join us for an intimate VIP After Party on-site—complete with curated cocktails, food, and a chance to connect directly with speakers, organizers, and fellow curious minds.
With lounge vibes, interactive elements, and an emphasis on surprise, this year’s event isn’t your typical TEDx—it’s a full-senses celebration of curiosity.
What to Expect
From interactive art to unexpected connections, this event is designed to awaken your sense of wonder, challenge how you think, and leave you with more questions than answers—in the best possible way.
An Immersive Environment
Step into a space that feels more like a playground of ideas than a traditional auditorium. With Electric Playhouse’s interactive projection technology, we’ve been inspired to curate 360 degrees of engagement. Expect to be surrounded by an immersive and inviting environment—this is TEDx reimagined through a lens of curiosity.
14 Bold Ideas on the Stage
You’ll hear from a diverse lineup of speakers who have ideas and conversations to start —from scientists and artists to entrepreneurs and activists—all exploring curiosity in unexpected ways. Talks will be spread across three sessions, each with built-in time to pause, reflect, and engage.
Food for Thought
Between sessions, we’re giving your brain (and your stomach) space to refuel. Expect unique engagement zones, pop-up experiences, food options, and plenty of room to connect and converse.
Intimate VIP After Party (7–9PM)
For those with VIP access, the experience continues after the stage lights dim, with an intimate after party on site—featuring curated cocktails, chef inspired food, and a chance to meet the speakers, organizers, and fellow curious minds in a more personal setting.
