TEDxMileHigh: Ideas Worth Spreading

Invest in the power of big ideas.

Our mission is to showcase leading thinkers and doers, and to spread big ideas as an avenue to promote education, dialogue, and civic engagement in our communities.

83,000 individuals have attended our events, 336 speakers and performers have taken our stage, and our talks have been viewed more than 150 million times online.

We believe it is absolutely critical to spread big ideas that are available 24/7, free to all around the world, and based on the most pressing and critical issues facing our planet. Our core belief is that ideas can change the world, and the TEDxMileHigh stage is a catalyst for that change.

Big ideas can change the world. Join us to witness inspiring speakers and performers (chosen from thousands of applicants) sharing world-changing ideas.

The TEDxMileHigh community is rooted in Denver and Colorado, but extends across the globe through our online community. TEDxMileHigh TRANSCEND will bring together – LIVE and IN-PERSON – thousands of curious and engaged thinkers, creators, and activists.

We are a non-profit organization that showcases Colorado’s leading thinkers and doers to accelerate big ideas and the community impact that follows. Our talks have been viewed more than 150 million times online across the globe.

TEDxMileHigh: TRANSCEND is an immersive experience that extends inspiration beyond the stage. You may check out emerging technology at our exhibits lounge, dive deeper into a big idea at one of our conference Adventures, or flex your mindfulness muscles at a community yoga class.

“I love TEDxMileHigh events because it is a time you realize that there are so many people who are pushing change, wanting change, and open to change.”

“I really enjoyed the mix of poetry, music, and speakers. They were all so relevant to what is going on in our world right now.”

“My biggest takeaway from the event was that there are many ways to impact injustice and inequality, and all of us have something to offer in being the change.”

“I love TEDxMileHigh. I also feel more empowered to take more actions about my OWN issues the same way these speakers did. They can talk about it TO start a conversation. I realize that I can have that power too. START conversations.”

“Whole Foods Market has found our partnership with TEDxMileHigh not only to be an investment in the Colorado community from a charitable perspective, but also incredibly beneficial to helping us stay true to our core value of serving and supporting local communities. TEDxMileHigh has helped us strengthen our direct community involvement through sponsorships of their semi-annual talks showcasing strong, influential Colorado residents.”

“The Denver Foundation partners with TEDxMileHigh because they provide a creative link to new ideas and big thinkers, while also connecting the Foundation to their dynamic, community involved audience. They constantly strive to expand their reach and to trace the impact of the ideas shared on the stages at their events.”

One of the ways to improve the world is not to protest the old world but to invent the new world. And you can bet that when a better world is invented there will be TEDx ideas that are part of the machinery of the solutions to our problems today.
