TEDxĐaKao Transforms into TEDxSaigon: Renewing to Continue the 8 Years Journey

After eight inspiring years of spreading ideas and building a strong community, TEDxĐaKao has transformed into TEDxSaigon - marking the start of a new journey where our spirit continues to grow, connect, and inspire on a larger scale.

Transformation as Part of the Journey

Saigon is a city that never stands still - always moving, always evolving.And so are we.From new streets to new stories, every corner of this city breathes creativity and possibility. Within that same rhythm, TEDxĐaKao transforms not just as an event, but as a community - a space where thinkers, dreamers, and changemakers come together to shape the future.

After eight years, we’ve learned that transformation is not the end of a journey, but the way forward.

“Saigon” is more than a place - it’s a spirit of openness, energy, and belief.Here, even the smallest ideas have the power to travel far beyond boundaries.

Becoming TEDxSaigon means expanding not only in scale but in purpose - to share Vietnamese creativity and the power of ideas with more people, more generations, and more parts of the world.

The Meaning Behind TEDxSaigon

Saigon represents transformation - where the past and present intertwine, and where diversity fuels innovation.It’s the city where ideas are born in coffee shops, tested in labs, and spread through stories of those who dare to challenge the ordinary.

This energy defines the vision of TEDxSaigon - bold, open, and forward-thinking.In this transformation, we see a reflection of Vietnam’s creative spirit and a growing global ambition - the belief that Vietnamese ideas deserve to be heard worldwide.

Continuing the Core of Our Journey

From day one, TEDxĐaKao has been a platform for ideas worth spreading - a space where voices are heard, stories are shared, and action is inspired.Every talk, every connection, every spark of curiosity has shaped a vibrant community of people who think differently and act with purpose.

As we transform into TEDxSaigon, our mission remains the same:to celebrate humanity, to believe in the limitless power of intellect and kindness, and to nurture ideas that touch minds and inspire change.

Looking Forward: A Journey of Possibility

This transformation is more than a name change - it’s a commitment to the future.TEDxSaigon will bring a broader range of TED-licensed programs, designed to explore, test, and nurture ideas from multiple perspectives.

From inspiring talks to artistic, technological, and social experiences, we aim to build an ecosystem where ideas are not only spoken - but lived, acted upon, and amplified.

For eight years, TEDxĐaKao has been the starting point of countless inspiring journeys.Now, as TEDxSaigon, that journey continues - with the same heart, but a wider vision.
