Theme: Still Anything but Normal

This year’s theme, Still Anything but Normal, is a tribute to the
bold spirit that first brought TEDxNormal to life and a
celebration of 10 years of groundbreaking ideas right here in
our community. A decade ago, this stage was just an idea—
now, it stands as proof that Normal is anything but ordinary.
We are surrounded by incredible talent and big ideas that
deserve to be heard, and today’s speakers are a testament to
the power of innovation thriving in our own backyard.
TEDxNormal isn’t just an event—it’s a movement, reminding us
that this community is
capable of shaping the future in ways that are unexpected,
inspiring, and, of course, anything but normal.
On behalf of the entire organizing committee, thank you for
being part of this milestone celebration. Let’s continue proving
that Normal is where extraordinary happens.
