TEDxOakParkYouth

Since 2015, TEDxOakPark has organized events designed to spark conversation and connection in our community by combining engaging speakers, recorded TED Talks, and networking. Launched in 2025, our newest movement is focused on sharing ideas about and for youth in Oak Park and our surrounding communities. Our first TEDxOakParkYouth event debuts Saturday, February 7, 2026 at Oak Park & River Forest High School. Tickets are on sale until 12:45 p.m. on event day (or until sold out).
