Road to TEDSports
From the official launch to opening day — a journey of events, digital presence and community building.

A high-profile launch event in Torino, 10 months before the conference. Partners, institutions, media and the TED ecosystem together for the first public announcement.

Continuous visibility across digital channels and traditional media throughout the months leading up to the event. Building anticipation, storytelling and community engagement.

A travelling programme of 3-5 intimate events, curated evenings or dedicated TEDx editions hosted in key Italian and international cities, extending the reach and narrative beyond Torino.


Beyond the Event
TEDSports Torino goes far beyond the in-person audience. The event generates a significantly wider reach through multiple touchpoints before, during and after the main programme.
3-4 pre-events in major Italian and international cities ahead of the main event. Content, networking and partner visibility to build momentum.
A 5 km morning run open to the city during the event. A shared sport moment that extends visibility to the broader community.
The opening night at Teatro Regio extends the audience well beyond registered attendees, involving the local and institutional community.
TEDSports-branded installations in key city locations during and before the event, in spaces identified with the Municipality of Turin. High foot traffic and brand exposure.
Saturday activities — Discovery Adventures and experiences — are open to participants beyond the main event, attracting a wider audience to partner activations.
Live streaming, media coverage, post-event content on TED global channels, social media and ongoing community engagement through newsletters and on-demand content.
