Live from TED2025 The TED Theater at TED2025, in photos Posted by: TED Staff April 11, 2025 at 3:30 pm EDT For one remarkable week each year, the Vancouver Convention Centre in Vancouver, BC, Canada transforms into the TED Theater: a custom-built, 1,200-seat space that hosts bold ideas designed to spark conversation, deepen our collective understanding and ignite meaningful change. In a world where so many familiar roles are ripe for re-invention, TED2025 poses the urgent question: “What are humans for?” — and challenges us to harness our full creativity, imagination and curiosity to envision a future we can genuinely look forward to. Below, find a sampling of the stunning photography from TED2025. And check out our live coverage of the conference and keep an eye out for new TED Talks from TED2025.
