Ideas to meet the moment.

We exist within a complex intersection of systems that respond and rely upon each other to maintain a status quo, however structures we’ve collectively accepted as immutable are both crumbling and being dismantled around us.

We live at a time when global risk and incredible opportunity expands across our climate and biodiversity, exponential tech and AI breakthroughs, an energy transition, our social and information divides, and our collective health. The complexity is extraordinary.

How might we meet this moment?

Some of Australia’s most exceptional minds live this question every day. At TEDxSydney 2025 we will gather to bear witness and hear from leaders at the forefront of our energy, economic, political, scientific and creative systems.

This year’s speakers will share their ideas through the theme of Three Horizons:

• Horizon 1: Triage
Where are we now?

• Horizon 2: Transition
Where are we going?

• Horizon 3: Transformation
Which futures are we imagining and working towards?

We will navigate the complexity and perhaps even find joy in the gathering of curious, open minds because whether we choose it or not, we're all in this together.
