“Rethink Courage”: TEDxLogan Circle Announces Speaker Lineup for 2025
Get ready to rethink your worldview! TEDxLogan Circle is thrilled to announce its powerful lineup of speakers for the 2025 event, themed “Rethink Courage.” This year’s selection follows an exceptionally competitive application process, with over 570 individuals from 44 U.S. states and 20 countries eager to share their stories of courage. After months of meticulous review, we’ve curated nine speakers whose stories truly embody the spirit of bravery and resilience, inviting us all to consider courage in new and unexpected ways.
“The sheer number of applications we received truly underscores the countless acts of courage taking place around the world,” says Monica H. Kang, Executive Director of TEDxLogan Circle. “The careful consideration that went into selecting these nine individuals reflects our team’s commitment to showcasing stories that will not only inspire but also offer fresh perspectives on what it means to be courageous. We are incredibly excited to witness their talks and eagerly anticipate welcoming everyone this August for an event that promises to ignite new ways of thinking.”
