Every unforgettable TEDx moment starts behind the scenes. 🎬 It takes a dedicated team to build the stage, but once the lights come up, the ideas speak for themselves. We'll see you on Nov. 21, 2026.

The storyteller.

His journey through chronic pain and the mind-body connection was raw and real. This portrait captures the intensity of a filmmaker who isn't afraid to look at the hard stuff. photography

A mindset shift for the week ahead. Save this for Monday morning. 📌

The table is set for something special. 🥂 Before the talks inspire the audience, our VIP Dinner brings together the people who help make TEDxCatawba possible. Here's to another incredible evening in November 2026.

It is never too late to reinvent yourself.
