Newcastle 2050: What If?

What could Newcastle become by 2050?

This special TEDxNewy Salon invites you into a fast-paced, interactive conversation imagining the future of our city. Participants will rotate through three themed rooms exploring big questions about how we move, live and experience Newcastle.

Through live discussion, interactive screens and hands-on activities, you'll have the chance to share ideas and contribute to a collective vision for Newcastle's future.

This event launches the 2026 TEDxNewy season, kicking off a year of ideas, events and conversations across our city.

Join us for an evening of bold questions, creative thinking and new perspectives.
