TEDxGeorge Women

On 8 August 2026, at the iconic Fancourt in George, TEDxGeorge Women returns with a theme rooted in both resilience and reinvention: Rise.

This year’s event celebrates women who refuse to be defined by circumstance, limitation, or inherited narratives. These are the women who rise — again and again — not by accident, but by intention.

This gathering is for the thinkers, makers, disruptors, storytellers, healers, builders, and everyday heroes whose courage stretches far beyond their own lives. Through bold ideas, untold stories, and lived experiences, our speakers will explore what rising looks like across identity, leadership, culture, innovation, wellness, justice, and community.

Join us as we reimagine.

As we rebuild.

As we rise.
