TEDx Asheville Pass the Mic Ceremony
Join us for the TEDxAsheville Pass the Mic Celebration and Ceremony — an evening that’s part pep rally, part rite of passage, and entirely about community.
This is where we honor what’s been and ignite what’s coming next.
Former TEDxAsheville speakers, new speakers, volunteers, sponsors, and longtime supporters gather for a powerful moment of connection and continuity.
You’ll Experience:
- Keynote Talks from TEDxAsheville Alumni – David LaMotte and Nselaa Ward, two esteemed 2024 speakers who know what it means to step into the spotlight and be changed by it, share their wisdom
- The Passing of the Mic Ceremony – Witness legacy speakers literally pass the mic to our 12 TEDxAsheville 2026 speakers, offering encouragement and blessing as they step toward the stage on Friday, March 20, 2026
- Behind-the-Scenes Speaker Stories – Get a rare glimpse into the hopes, nerves, and dreams of our 2026 speakers as they stand on the edge of their TEDx journey
- Community Celebration – Connect with former speakers, volunteers, sponsors, and longtime supporters who make TEDxAsheville possible
- Heavy Appetizers & Cash Bar – Enjoy great food and drinks as the evening unfolds
This is more than an event — it’s shared momentum.
Come celebrate, cheer on, and send forward the voices shaping the next TEDxAsheville.
