TEDxLufkin

On August 8, 2026, Lufkin will become the stage for BIG IDEAS, courageous voices and transformative conversations as TEDx Lufkin presents Come Be Great 8.8.

This event is designed to uncover and amplify ideas worth spreading, ideas capable of challenging outdated thinking, inspiring action and shaping a better future.

Guided by the spirit of No Box Thinking, Come Be Great 8.8 will bring together innovators, educators, entrepreneurs, storytellers and disruptors who are ready to share one powerful idea that can change how we think, lead, learn and live.

At its core, this event exists to elevate the overlooked, the underestimated and the undeniable providing a platform where bold thinkers move from being seen as pawns to becoming Architects of Change.

Through a series of carefully curated talks, immersive conversations and transformative storytelling, the audience will experience ideas that challenge assumptions, ignite imagination and inspire meaningful action.

Because sometimes the idea that changes the world is simply waiting for a stage and on 8.8, that stage will be TEDx Lufkin, so Come Be Great!
