“To engage with the future, to find elusive audiences, to test ideas and to create tangible relationships. Becoming a TEDx partner means you share in our mission of spreading ideas that can change the world, join our community of thought leaders, and benefit from individually tailored sponsorship”
TEDxSantaBarbara Impact
"The mission of TEDxSantaBarbara is to bring ideas to the Red Circle that will creatively and positively impact the Santa Barbara community. Our hope is that those ideas, delivered by amazing speakers, will go on to make a difference in the world at large.
Beyond Ideas Worth Sharing, we call this Ideas Worth Doing.”

The TEDxSantaBarbara Audience at a glance
The TEDxSantaBarbara audience is quite impressive. Just as varied as the program and speakers, individuals from diverse backgrounds come together to share the TEDxSantaBarbara experience.
TEDx is about innovation, the future, and keeping people in dialogue. When I think about what a community foundation is doing, more than anything else, is helping citizens identify the most important factors that will lead to the best collective future.
