TEDxBessies Creek 2026 is more than a conference. It's a reckoning.
At a time when we outsource our thinking, automate our empathy, and scroll past our neighbors, "Be Human" calls us back to what matters - our stories, our connections, our capacity to change.
This year, we're bringing together 100 people in Houston for a curated, intimate experience featuring original talks, real conversations, and ideas that don't just inform - they transform. Meet the thinkers, practitioners, and storytellers taking the stage on July 17 to share ideas rooted in human experience, human dignity, and human possibility.
