TEDxBritish University Georgia

November 27, 2026 | British University, Tbilisi

What will the university of the future look like? What skills will we need in the age of artificial intelligence? Will a degree still hold the same value? And how can we prepare for a future we cannot yet predict?

On November 27, British University will host TEDxBritish University Georgia — an event bringing together diverse ideas, fresh perspectives, and people who are thinking about the future of education, technology, and society.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the job market, the ways we acquire knowledge, and human capabilities. Professions are evolving, traditional career paths are becoming less predictable, and the skills required for success are constantly changing.

How should universities respond to these changes?

This year's TEDxBritish University Georgia theme is “Future-Ready University.”

Nine speakers, nine unique perspectives, and ideas that will challenge the way you think about education, careers, technology, and your own potential.

Speakers & Talks

Levan Gurgenidze — “The Motivation Crisis: Why Talent Is No Longer Enough”

Why is talent no longer a guarantee of success? How are motivation, self-discipline, and personal agency becoming some of the most valuable advantages for the future?

Lasha Davitadze — “Learning in Uncertainty”

How do we make decisions when there is no single right answer? Why should education teach us not only what to know, but also how to act in uncertain situations?

Ketevan Chapidze — “The Geography of Opportunity”

Why does where we are born and live have such a profound impact on our opportunities? Can technology and education help reduce these inequalities?

Irakli Svanidze — “Skills That Will Matter When Jobs Disappear”

Which skills will remain valuable in the age of artificial intelligence and automation? How can we prepare for a job market that is changing every day?

Tina Agniashvili — “From Diploma to Identity”

What does a university give us beyond a degree? How does education shape our identity, confidence, ambitions, and vision of our future?

Nino Lobjanidze — “Why Some Countries Will Win in the Age of AI”

Why will some countries benefit far more from artificial intelligence than others? What determines a country's competitiveness in the AI era?

Reza Kalantarinejad — “Failure as a System: Why We Learn from What Breaks?”

What if we viewed failure not as an individual weakness, but as an opportunity for learning and growth? How can we create environments where experimentation and mistakes become the foundation of progress?

Mikheil Gurgenidze — “The Day the Professor Became an Algorithm”

If artificial intelligence can explain, teach, assess, and provide personalized feedback, what role remains for professors? How will teaching evolve in the age of AI?

Giorgi Bakradze — “Is Diploma a Bluff?”

When knowledge can be acquired outside the university, why do we still pursue degrees? What value do they hold, and what might change in the future?

Who Is This Event For?

TEDxBritish University Georgia is for everyone interested in the future of education, artificial intelligence, innovation, career development, and human potential.

The event will be particularly engaging for university students, school students, academics, entrepreneurs, professionals, and anyone who wants to better understand how the world is changing and what new opportunities are emerging.

Why Attend?

Because the future isn't just about technology. It's also about how we think, how we learn, how we make decisions, and how we create new opportunities.

One day. Nine speakers. Ideas that could change the way you see the future.
