All Aboard the Panaji xPress! Welcome to the very first edition of the TEDxPanaji newsletter.

We couldn't be more excited to launch xPress, a new way of staying connected with our community. Starting today, we’ll be sharing weekly updates directly with you.

TEDxPanaji 2025 is already shaping up to be unforgettable, and you’ll get a front-row seat to every step of the journey: from behind-the-scenes glimpses and speaker announcements to workshops and partnerships.

As we gear up for TEDxPanaji, here are 5 ways this year’s event in Goa is bigger and built differently:

1. A Capital Leap, From Margao to Panaji

Last year, we celebrated the cultural depth of South Goa in Margao. This year, we’re stepping into Panaji, the vibrant heart of Goa. This shift reflects our intent to reach wider audiences and celebrate Goa’s diversity from its cultural capital.

2. Bigger Vision, Deeper Impact

With the theme “It’s About Time!”, TEDxPanaji 2025 is set to be our most ambitious edition yet. Think more speakers, larger audiences and an expanded 'Innovation Hub' featuring groundbreaking ideas from changemakers across Goa and beyond.

3. Diverse Voices, Powerful Stories

We’re curating a speaker lineup that celebrates innovation, resilience and bold thinking. From scientists and artists to entrepreneurs and activists, our speakers will challenge perspectives, ignite conversations and inspire action, which is perfectly aligned with our theme, "It’s About Time!".

4. A Stronger Team, A Sharper Experience

Our crew has grown in size and strength, bringing together creatives, technologists, storytellers and community leaders. This expanded team means more robust planning, smoother logistics and a deeply curated, high-impact event experience.

5. Planning Like Pros, Starting 6 Months Early

We’ve taken everything we learned last year and started early. Six months in advance! The result? A refined approach to speaker curation, audience engagement, partnerships and storytelling. Every detail is being shaped with care and clarity.

Beyond the Stage: A Year-Round Movement

TEDxPanaji isn’t just about one day. It’s the start of something bigger.

Expect year-long:

Workshops that turn ideas into action.
Networking Sessions that forge lasting collaborations.
Community Projects to keep the momentum alive.
