Ten inspiring people from around the country will jump on stage to share their great ideas with the people of Tauranga.
Joining this year's line-up of speakers for the annual TEDx Tauranga event are locals Rachael van der Gugten, Jason Edgecombe and Ellis Bryers.
Lead organiser Sheldon Nesdale said this year's TEDx Tauranga would be the third in the city.
It began here in 2013 with an audience of 100 people.
This year, the organisers were catering for 1000.
