Talks «TEDxSaiGon: Vibrant Ho Chi Minh City 2026»

   Three hours of talks about what Ho Chi Minh City is right now: how it holds on to its heritage while towers go up around it, and what keeps pulling people here from everywhere else. The speakers come from different fields, and the format is the one that forces an idea into a short talk with no slide padding.

   It is put together by TEDxSaiGon with the Department of Tourism of Ho Chi Minh City, and it sits inside the programme of ITE HCMC 2026, the city's international travel expo. Talks cover sustainable tourism, cultural heritage, innovation and global connections, with performances and networking time between blocks.

   In short
The questions — what makes the city an endless source of inspiration for cross-cultural connection; how sustainable tourism and technology reshape its identity; how heritage survives alongside global economic partnership
Talk topics — sustainable tourism, cultural heritage, innovation, global connections
Partner — the Department of Tourism of HCMC; the event sits within ITE HCMC 2026
Beyond the talks — stage performances and networking with the partner
Entry — free, seats limited, pre-registration required

   Go if you work in tourism, culture or city projects, or if you simply want to hear the city discussed by people actively changing it. The side benefit is the room: the city tourism authority, expo participants and a TEDx audience all in one place.

   The event runs entirely in English.

   Registration is required and closes as seats fill. Questions go to [email protected].

   If you care where Ho Chi Minh City is heading, three hours at the end of August will tell you more than a month of reading about it.
