The Fire We Share is a celebration of the passion, curiosity, courage, creativity, ambition, hope, and resilience that drive people to make a difference. Each of us carries a unique fire—shaped by our experiences, challenges, discoveries, and dreams. But the true power of that fire lies not in keeping it to ourselves, but in sharing it.

This year’s theme explores what happens when ideas, stories, and experiences are passed from one person to another. A single conversation can change a perspective. A personal story can inspire courage. An innovative idea can ignite action. Throughout history, progress has always been fueled by people who were willing to share what inspired them—and in doing so, inspired others.

At TEDxNuremberg, we believe every breakthrough has a human story behind it. Whether your talk explores science, technology, art, business, culture, personal growth, or social change, we’re looking for ideas that reveal the passion behind the work and the connections that bring people together.

In a world that often feels increasingly divided, The Fire We Share reminds us that our greatest strength lies in our ability to connect. Through openness, curiosity, and the exchange of ideas, we create spaces where inspiration spreads, understanding grows, and new possibilities emerge.

We invite speakers who are ready to share the fire that drives them—and perhaps ignite it in someone else.
