TEDxUNYP returns to Prague on Saturday, March 7th, bringing international speakers to the Prague Congress Centre for a one day event focused on how we connect in a changing world.
The 2026 edition introduces the theme “Currents of Connection”, focusing on the often unseen forces that shape how people connect — with each other, with technology, and with the systems that influence daily life. Through stories and ideas drawn from leadership, innovation, psychology, education, and public life, the event will explore what connection really means in a world that is constantly shifting.
The English-language event will bring international speakers to Prague, including Adam Radcliffe, a British Guinness World Record-holding adventurer whose experiences range from trekking through remote jungles and living with hunter-gatherer communities to rowing 3,500 miles across the North Atlantic. He will be joined by Stephen Oommen, flying in from the United States, a former Managing Director at Microsoft and Accenture, who will share insights on how trust and human relationships shape meaningful professional connections.
The programme will also feature voices closer to home. Tereza Hrbková, co-founder and COO of Citymind, will speak about how cities and public institutions can build trust as artificial intelligence becomes part of everyday decision-making. She is joined by Ivana Šedivá, a board member and mentor at Google for Startups and former CMO at companies including Johnson & Johnson, Tesco, and McDonald’s, bringing a global leadership perspective on how questioning and curiosity drive better decisions.
Speakers will tackle questions many organisations and individuals are grappling with right now — from how leadership is changing, to how language shapes belonging, how AI is reshaping identity, why burnout is becoming global, and what education means for the future of democracy.
“We live in a world that’s more connected than ever, yet many people feel more disconnected than before,” said Amit Grinvald, Lead Organiser of TEDxUNYP. “Currents of Connection is an invitation to slow down and notice the forces shaping how we relate — to question what’s pulling us together, what’s pushing us apart, and what kind of connections we actually want to build.”
TEDxUNYP has become a platform for bringing global perspectives to Prague while creating space for meaningful dialogue within its international community. The one-day event will feature live talks alongside opportunities for attendees to connect with speakers and one another throughout the programme.
