TEDXKLU: Finding your spark in a world on fire

In a chaotic world, it’s about rediscovering what truly lights you up and drawing strength from it. When we follow what genuinely moves us, we can create change – not just within ourselves, but in the world around us.

On Saturday, 21 February 2026, 12:00h, Kühne Logistics University (KLU) will once again host TEDxKLU Hamburg, bringing the globally renowned TEDx format back to campus. Under the theme Finding your spark in a world on fire, the event will take place in the Golden Egg, the main auditorium at KLU in Hamburg, where the attendees will gather for an afternoon of bold ideas, personal perspectives, and conversations that matter. The message is clear: in times of complexity and uncertainty, reconnecting with what truly drives us can become a powerful catalyst for change.

Speakers at TEDxKLU Hamburg 2026
The 2026 edition will feature the following speakers:

Konrad Gruner, COO of ChefTreff
Soraya Barrera, Founder of #BeTimeless
Seán Rafter, Managing Director of HELP Logistics & Operations Director of CHORD
Deborah Choi, Managing Director of Founderland
Ina Walter, Behavioral Scientist & Sustainability Expert
Mert Diner, Agile Project Manager at Airbus
Janvière Musoni, Student Recruitment Manager at KLU
Ronja Moritz, Commerce and Operations at DP World & Neurodivergence Advocate

How TEDx aligns with KLU values and vision
KLU is proud to host this event for the second time. The event, independently organized by a team of 30+ KLU students, facilitates the students put into practice their skills and their Operations Mindset. The event aligns with KLU’s role as an enabler of leadership and intellectual exchange. Students transform academic knowledge into action by organizing an international event that attracts leaders of thought and invites critical reflection on today’s most pressing questions. In doing so, KLU advances its vision of educating future leaders who can structure complexity, take initiative, and shape dialogue across disciplines. The campus becomes a place where leadership is practiced openly and ideas are turned into momentum.

The perfect inspiration for ignited souls: Tickets and attendance
Due to the venue’s limited capacity, tickets are expected to sell out quickly. Remaining tickets can be purchased via the official TEDxKLU Hamburg website.

With its mix of visionary ideas, critical reflection, and a vibrant on-campus atmosphere, TEDxKLU Hamburg 2026 promises an afternoon that resonates long after the final talk. Following the original TEDx motto “Ideas worth spreading”, the upcoming edition at KLU is again a unique opportunity to be inspired – and to discover your own spark.
