Continuum represents the bridge between what has been, where we are right now, and how we get to a brighter future together. Until 2025, we were TEDxMechanicsville. This year onwards, we have expanded to TEDxOttawa, the premier event to elevate ideas in the National Capital Region of Ottawa.

The TEDxOttawa program is a composition. You are thinking about what each idea does on its own, but also what happens when you place it beside another. Where the audience should be challenged. Where it should be surprising. Where one talk might quietly complicate the assumptions created by the one before it.

And, perhaps most importantly, which ideas might still haunt you (in the best possible way) in the middle of the night.

To better organize the symphony of the day, the speakers are divided into three streams:

Systems. Emergence. Belonging.
