TEDxIESEBarcelona
is an independent event run by MBA students from the Public Speaking Club at IESE
Business School in Barcelona, Spain. Now in its 8th edition,
it brings together bold thinkers, innovators, and change-makers to share ideas
worth spreading and to spark conversations that matter.
This year’s theme — “Building Bridges, Not Walls” — is a call to connect in a divided world. It’s about replacing barriers with pathways, and isolation with collaboration. From breakthroughs that unite industries to stories that foster empathy across cultures, our speakers will explore how to bridge differences and create progress together.
Join us for TEDxIESEBarcelona 2026 — a day of ideas, inspiration, and connection. Discover how building bridges can ignite innovation, strengthen communities, and shape a more united future.
Tickets are priced at €35. Tickets include full access to the event with coffee and snacks break.
What is TEDx?
In the spirit of
ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program
of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like
experience. Our event is called TEDxIESEBarcelona where x = independently
organized TED event. At our TEDxIESEBarcelona event, TEDTalks video
and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a
small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program,
but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized. TEDx
