What is TEDx Dhanmondi

Where Big
Ideas
Live.

TEDxDhanmondi is an independently organized TED event licensed by TED, dedicated to bringing the global spirit of "ideas worth spreading" to the heart of Dhanmondi, Dhaka.

Youth Quake 2.0 is led by a new independent team — separate from the organizers of the first edition, but holding the same spirit alive. Where 1.0 filled a 1,000-seat auditorium, 2.0 turns inward: an intimate room of 350 in total — with only 250 seats open to the public and the rest reserved, focused on quality over quantity and a few powerful, well-curated talks.

The Legacy
We Build On.

Youth Quake 1.0: "Unleashing the Power of a Generation" took place at Rupayan Trade Center, Dhaka — presented by Shanta Asset Management to an intimate audience of roughly 300. Ten voices stepped onto the red dot, organized by Mainuddin Bhuiyan Tanvir and team. This is the stage 2.0 inherits.

Youth Quake 2.0 — The Next Chapter

A Conscious
Generation,
Rising.

Where 1.0 unleashed power, 2.0 sharpens conscience. A new independent team, a smaller room, and a tighter lineup — built around fewer voices that say more. Speakers, date, and venue announcements roll out through 2026.

01
New independent organizing team
Led by Organizer & Licensee Mahedi Hasan Nabil, separate from the team behind 1.0 — but carrying its spirit forward.
02
Intimate room. 350 total, 250 public.
A deliberate downshift from a 1,000+ auditorium to a focused gathering of 350 — with only 250 seats open to the public and the rest reserved. Built for attention, not scale.
03
Quality over quantity
Fewer speeches, deeper curation. Every talk earns its place on the red dot. Speaker reveals begin soon.
The Room — Beyond the Talks

Stand on the red carpet.
Sit with the room worth knowing.

Youth Quake 2.0 isn’t only a stage — it’s a curated gathering of influencers, change‑makers, founders, business builders, designers, and students with intent. A thought‑exchange and networking moment worth spending the day on.

Step onto the TEDx red carpet. Associate your name with the TEDx stage. Share what you’re building, what you stand for, and what you want to change — with a room of peers who’ll actually listen.
