TED, a nonprofit dedicated to discovering, debating and spreading ideas that spark conversation, deepen understanding and drive meaningful change, is hosting TEDSports Indianapolis on September 9-11, 2025. It will be the first TED event focused on sports, and held in partnership with the Indiana Sports Corp and Next Practice Partners.
“We are proud that TED has chosen our hometown of Indianapolis to host the inaugural TEDSports event in September,” said Mike Nichols, Chief of Sponsorship Strategy and Activation at Gainbridge. “The Brickyard 400 is a premier event on the NASCAR and Indianapolis calendars, and we are honored to feature TEDSports Indianapolis alongside Gainbridge on Justin Haley’s No. 7 Chevrolet for the weekend.”
“There’s no place more exciting for TEDSports to make its NASCAR debut than the Brickyard,” said Monique Ruff-Bell, TED’s Chief Program and Strategy Officer. “Indianapolis is a city where innovation, culture, and sports converge, and this partnership reflects everything TEDSports is about – exploring bold new intersections and sharing big ideas.”
