TEDxTumon: Crossroads

VIP: An exclusive post-event happy hour with our speakers at the Guam Museum, plus a TEDxTumon swag bag.

Guam has always sat at a crossroads. Ocean currents, trade winds, migrations, empires, and the people who stayed and made a home of it. On October 10, 2026, TEDxTumon brings that story into the Guam Museum Theater in Hagåtña for one afternoon of ideas worth sharing, delivered by speakers from the Guam, the Marianas and beyond.

What you'll hear:

• Culture and identity: the CHamoru language, ancestral belonging, and the Guam flag we love or...


• Health and community: village care through doulas, breaking cycles of familiar pain, and the wisdom of looking up


• Technology and the future: cybersecurity, entrepreneurship, and the triple anxiety of climate change, AI, and the mind


• Land and legacy: bringing back Guam's lost birds, and bringing our talent home to the villages


• Art, design and music: a creative journey from global stages back to island roots

Live performances open the afternoon, fill the breaks, and carry us into the evening. Refreshments will be served.
Must be 21+ to consume alcohol. Valid ID required.
