The Voices of Be Human.

Innovators, storytellers, and everyday humans from Houston and beyond - sharing ideas that challenge, inspire, and remind us what we're made of.

Speaker Announcement

Speaker Lineup Drops May 30, 2026.

We've spent months listening - to applications, to nominations, to community voices - to curate a lineup worthy of the "Be Human" theme. These aren't just accomplished people. They're people with something real to say.

Be the first to know when they're revealed.

What to Expect on Stage

Every TEDxBessies Creek talk is an original, researched, and rehearsed presentation - no panels, no keynote speeches in the traditional sense. Talks are 8-18 minutes, built around one idea worth spreading. Our speaker coaches work with every presenter from concept to delivery to ensure what hits the stage has been earned.

Know Someone Who Should Be on This Stage?

Speaker applications for our 2026 event are now closed, but we're always building toward the future. If you know a voice that needs to be heard, let us know.
