A World of Possibilities

Join us for TEDx Central Michigan University 2026, an afternoon of thought-provoking ideas, inspiring stories and fresh perspectives centered on this year's theme, A World of Possibilities.

Eight selected speakers will share powerful ideas and personal experiences that challenge conventional thinking and encourage audiences to imagine new possibilities. The event will also feature performances by CMU student musicians and artists, with opening remarks from CMU President Neil MacKinnon.

Hosted by the TEDx Central Michigan University registered student organization, the event brings together students, faculty, staff, alumni and members of the greater Mount Pleasant community to explore ideas worth spreading. The full speaker agenda and performance lineup will be announced closer to the event.
