Wondering: What Now

At every turning point, we find ourselves wondering “What now? Both a question and an invitation: to pause, to look closer, and to feel the pulse of our changing world. In that space of curiosity, we begin to see possibilities unfold, revealing the next steps that innovation, reflection, and courage might lead us toward.

 

Grasping: What Now

Understanding emerges when wonder meets intent. In grasping the meaning behind our questions, we engage with the complexity of our moment, from shifting technologies to evolving communities and ideas. Here, TEDxUTAustin invites us to hold these challenges in our hands, to explore them with empathy and reason, and to find clarity in the act of grappling with what now.

 

Designing: What Now

From wonder and understanding comes creation, transforming “What now?” from a question to a guide. Through this conference, TEDxUTAustin celebrates the power of design as a form of hope: the choice to imagine boldly, to collaborate, and to give form to the future we wish to live in.
