Change rarely happens in isolation. Behind every breakthrough, every movement, every new possibility lies a catalyst: a spark that sets everything in motion. But the spark is only the beginning. Transformation happens when that energy is directed and shaped into something lasting. A solution. A system. A new way in. At TEDxSugar Hill 2026, we explore the catalysts that shape our world. Not just as a moment of ignition, but as the start of something intentionally constructed. From one bold idea to a movement that opens doors for others, this event celebrates those who don’t just spark change — they build it.
TEDxSugar Hill is operated by Georgia FirstGen, a Georgia 501(c)3 nonprofit and 100% volunteer-driven organization. Our team dedicates time, energy, and creativity to building a platform that brings people together through the power of change. Funds raised through sponsorships and ticket sales stay right here in the local community, helping to cover essential costs such as printing, signage, promotion, audio-visual needs, food, and venue expenses.
