Nominate a Speaker

Vol. 01 · 2026 Edition · Speaker Nominations Open

Redefine the definition.

Success. Productivity. Education. Connection. We live by definitions that feel like ours. They shape how we think, decide, and live.

Repeated enough, they become familiar. Familiar enough, they become the accepted “truth.” TEDxTanDinh invites voices willing to look again – and help others do the same.

In a changing world, what if what we rely on no longer holds?

Know someone who can shift how we see?

Redefining Definitions

We live by definitions we rarely question – yet they shape how we think, decide, and live. What happens if we dare to go beyond them?

“Tân”, to see with new eyes

The willingness to look again at what feels familiar, yet has never been examined.

“Định”, the definitions we live by

Beliefs we take as truth about ourselves, society, and the world.

Most events look for new ideas. We begin with what already shapes our lives and ask whether it still serves us, or quietly holds us back.

Open-minded speakers.

Not the loudest, but the ones that shift how we see.
Challenging assumptions, not chasing trends.

01

Lived, not borrowed.

02

Thought-provoking, not performative.

03

Depth that stays.

Help us find the perspectives that will reshape how we see.

Nominate someone – or yourself. All speakers are independently selected by our curation team under TEDx guidelines.

What needs to be challenged?

Choose one – or redefine your own.
Here are some assumptions our community wants to see redefined on stage.

Thanks – noted.

Thank you – we’ll carry this into our curation conversations.
