TEDxChicago xChange: A Professional Community
Building Connections, Driving Impact, Shaping the Future
TEDx is more than a one-time event or a singular philosophy. It’s a dynamic learning experience where diverse voices and bold ideas converge to drive progress.
The TEDxChicago xChange Community is designed for teams, leaders, and changemakers who want to grow together. It’s an ideal way for leaders and teams to invest in their people and their networks—offering access to curated content & experiences that extend well beyond event day.
Join a collaborative community that sparks innovation and fuels transformation.
Through TEDxChicago’s xChange Experience, your team will have access to:
Curated newsletters and content/resources to learn from and spark new thinking
Conversations that go beyond networking - toward shared purpose
Opportunities to engage in live experiences that extend ideas into action, including admission to TEDxChicago
Empower your people. Expand what’s possible.

The xChange Development eGuide
Coming July 2025
Find community. Drive impact.
Rooted in TED’s global mission and created by TEDxChicago, the xChange Development eGuide helps turn bold ideas into real-world momentum, long after the talks are over.
This professional development tool is grounded in TED’s values of discovery, empowered community, and connection. Whether you’re leading a team, developing future leaders, or reflecting on your own growth, the eGuide gives you the structure and space to go deeper, with guided prompts, conversation starters, and insights designed to inspire action. It is grounded with TED and TEDx Talks and the unique perspectives and expertise of the TEDx community.
TEDx events are powerful moments, but without action, inspiration fades. The eGuide ensures the ideas that spark change don’t stop at the stage. Use it to activate your team, reflect with intention, and bring TEDxChicago into your everyday work.
