TEDxKL, one of the world’s leading TEDx events, returns to the iconic REXKL on 15 November 2025 with a bold theme: “Confluence.”
Founded in 2009, TEDxKL is a collaborative movement dedicated to sharing ideas worth spreading, building community, and celebrating the innovative spirit of Kuala Lumpur.
Inspired by the meeting of the Klang and Gombak rivers — the birthplace of Kuala Lumpur — “Confluence” is a metaphor for how ideas meet: when different streams of thought flow together, they create momentum, reveal new paths, and reshape the landscape — just as rivers do.
