From a Global Idea to a Local Experience
TEDxCervia is an independent local events program dedicated to spreading valuable ideas, innovation and creativity within the community.
It was launched in 2025 from the vision of a group of people from Cervia, with the goal of inspiring through ideas and beauty, using stories and creative perspectives to spark change and help build a more inclusive and sustainable future.
Each edition focuses on a central theme:
-
In 2025 the theme was Butterflies, metamorphosis as a metaphor for change and innovation.
-
In 2026, the theme is Treasure, not as material wealth, but as a journey, as an idea that grows, as something that guides us.
Giving Value to Ideas
The program originates from the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design), a global platform that organizes conferences where thinkers and innovators share ideas and solutions on on a wide range of relevant topics.
In the spirit of the TED format, TEDxCervia brings local and national speakers to the stage with short, high-impact talks designed to spark reflection and inspire change.
The goal is to create a shared space for ideas worth spreading, enhancing the talents and realities of the local community.
Who’s Involved
TEDxCervia is made possible by the work of the founding team, supported by volunteers, speakers, and partners.
Everyone contributes with skills and expertise to the realization of events and meetings that generate value for the community and offer new perspectives for growth.
The Partnership
The collaboration between Technacy and TEDx Cervia stems from a shared commitment to strengthening their impact on the local community.
Technacy has been a Visionary Partner since the first edition in 2025, and for the second consecutive year, we have chosen to renew and further deepen this collaboration.
TEDxCervia is a stage where ideas really matter, where people take part because they believe that thinking can drive change. This is exactly the kind of space that Technacy is proud to support.
This synergy is part of an ongoing commitment to the local community, already underway in Technacy through initiatives such as ConnectingPlace and Smart-CER: building networks, retaining talent, and creating local value in a global context.
Launch of the First TEDxCervia Edition
As Visionary Partners, we supported the team in building the communication strategy around the first local TED event in Emilia-Romagna.

THE OUTCOME
TEDxCervia Was Launched in 2025
The independent, TED-licensed event is organized by a group of people who live, work and care deeply about Cervia.
It already has a clear identity and well defined goals, which need to be communicated in the right way.
Our Expertise in Supporting Ideas
TEDx is exactly the kind of initiative we want to be a part of: a stage where ideas matter, rooted in the community we belong to.
As Visionary Partners , we have chosen to contribute in a tangible way by supporting the website revision, defining the tone of voice, and developing the editorial plan for the event launch.
The First Edition, Butterflies, Takes Place at Darsena del Sale in Cervia on May 24, 2025,
We built the narrative together: introducing the speakers, explaining to the local community what a TEDx is and why it is worth attending, promoting the event and ticket purchasing process, and managing newsletters and invitations.
All of this was supported by a consistent storytelling approach across the social media channels.
A milestone for the local area, and the beginning of something longer-lasting: in 2026, Technacy once again stands alongside TEDxCervia for the Treasure edition.
