ABOUT TEDx Al Qurum

TEDx Al Qurum, set to energize Muscat on April 19, 2025, at the iconic Bait Al Zubair, promises a celebration of creativity, inspiration, and community. This independently organized event, under the esteemed TED banner, will showcase global talents and ideas in the picturesque setting of Al Qurum.

Bait Al Zubair, located in the heart of Old Muscat, is a symbol of Oman’s rich heritage. Opened in 1998 as the country’s first private museum, it houses a prestigious collection of Omani artifacts that span centuries, reflecting the nation’s specialized skills and cultural evolution. The museum, an architectural icon and recipient of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos’ Award for Architectural Excellence in 1999, offers a perfect backdrop for this inspiring event.

TEDx Al Qurum goes beyond a conference—it is a celebration of Oman’s ongoing journey toward becoming a global leader in happiness and well-being. Our goal is to nurture a culture of joy, optimism, and collaboration, aligning with the nation’s ambitions. By bringing together innovative thinkers, we aim to spark transformative conversations and create an unforgettable experience that empowers individuals to contribute to a balanced, thriving society.

About TEDx

What is TEDx?

TEDx x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDx[name], where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDx[name] event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
