Some rules are made to be followed.

Others are meant to be challenged, reimagined, or reshaped.

Thankfully, Akron is a city of rule-makers, breakers, benders, and—most importantly—shakers.

 

 

This year’s TEDxAkron event invites speakers who have questioned the status quo, redefined boundaries, or seen the world through a different lens. 2025’s “Shaking the Rules” isn’t just about rebellion—it’s about vision, exploration, and the courage to ask, What if? From bold innovations to quiet revolutions, from rethinking history to redesigning the future, our speakers will explore the gray spaces where transformation happens. Because sometimes, progress isn’t about breaking the rules—it’s about shaking them.

Are you ready to Shake The Rules, Akron?
