Building an event of this scale isn't a solo flight, it requires co-pilots who can navigate any storm and master every instrument on the dashboard. Whether it’s web designing or helping with the technical support of the show, Mike has been an essential partner in bringing this stage to life.

Meet the Visionaries: The Team Behind TEDxGainesville 2026
Great ideas don’t just happen, they are built, curated, and shared by a dedicated team working tirelessly behind the scenes. We want to introduce the incredible people making it all possible.

From the initial spark of an idea to the final stage lights, this team has poured their passion into every detail:

The Curators: Hand-selecting the voices and stories that will challenge and inspire our community.

The Organizers: The logistical powerhouses ensuring every moving part fits perfectly into place.

The Marketing & Social Media Mavens: Building our digital home and ensuring the message of "Emergence" reaches every corner of Gainesville and beyond.

To the team: without your hard work and unwavering dedication, we would just be standing still, we wouldn't be growing. Your commitment to excellence is the reason we continue to improve year after year. You aren't just staff; you are the heartbeat of this event.

Join in the comments!
Drop a "Thank You" or a 🙌 to celebrate the team that brings big ideas to life.

The stage has gone dark and the speakers have finished their talks, but the ideas sparked at TEDxGainesville 2026: Emergence are just beginning to take root. This incredible day would not have been possible without the visionary support of our sponsors.

Our theme, Emergence, was all about how small actions and individual voices converge to create powerful, collective change. Our sponsors didn't just fund an event; they invested in the future of Gainesville’s ideas and the strength of our local community.

By supporting TEDxGainesville, you are helping to transform Gainesville into a hub for "ideas worth spreading." You are the catalyst for the conversations that will shape our city for years to come.

Together, we’ve emerged stronger, wiser, and more inspired.
