Jonathan Rives
Host & Co-Curator
Rives is a poet and public speaker from New York City. He has six talks on TED.com, and was co-host of the annual TEDActive and TEDYouth conferences. Rives performed on Seasons 3-6 of HBO’s Def Poetry Jam, and was the writer and host of Bravo TV’s Ironic Iconic America. Rives also leads public speaking workshops for young people, non-profit and corporate groups. TEDxGateway 2023 will be Rives’ 7th time hosting TEDxGateway and he is thrilled to be returning to Mumbai, the most vibrant city on the planet.

Rives (born 1968) is an American poet, storyteller, and author. He appeared on Seasons 3-6 of HBO's Def Poetry Jam and was a member of Team Hollywood, which won the 2004 National Poetry Slam. His best-known poems include "Kite," about waking up alone in a new lover's apartment, and "Mockingbird," which he performs differently every time, incorporating the words of other poets and speakers in the program.

In 2008, Rives hosted the television special Ironic Iconic America with Tommy Hilfiger and Bar Refaeli, examining how pop culture has influenced American tastes and styles. In October of that year, he began appearing as the "first 2.0 poet" in a series of ads for telecom company Orange S.A.

Rives has made multiple appearances at the TED Conference and is the regular co-host of TEDYouth. His multimedia performances touch on themes of connectedness, wordplay, and romance. In 2013, Rives began curating the Museum of Four in the Morning, an online crowd-sourced collection of references to the time, 04:00 am, in art and popular culture.

Rives has written and paper engineered several pop-up books for children and adults. Early in his career, Rives worked at Intervisual Books, under the leadership of Waldo Hunt. Two pop-up books, with paper engineering by Rives, were finalists for the Movable Book Society Meggendorfer Prize for Best Paper Engineering: The Consummate Cigar Book in 2000 and If I Were a Polar Bear in 2002.

Our History

TEDxGateway began as a small ideas conference in Mumbai, India. That single conference with 350 attendees in 2010 has grown into various annual events with 60,000+ attendees in person and 350+ speakers, all dedicated to TEDx’s global mission of researching and sharing meaningful new ideas.

Most of our conferences are broad in scope, such as our annual TEDxGateway Conference. Occasionally we hold deep-dive Salon conferences more focused on one subject area like - Climate Change, Women & Gender Discussion, Healthcare, Mental Health, Public Service, Parents & Children, Music & Mobility.

Partner with us

Thanks to the generous support of our partners, we are able to fund our mission of ideas worth spreading.

We partner with best-in-class brands (like The Aditya Birla Group, JSW Group, Reliance Group, Abbott India, SAP, Accenture, BMW, Microsoft to name a few) to create innovative, inspiring and impactful thought leadership campaigns.

A partnership with TEDxGateway is truly unique and leverages everything that makes us stand apart, including our unprecedented ability to build meaningful connections among a global community. Past partners have conducted in-depth, expert-led workshops, supported community gatherings and hosted interactive exhibits, while being immersed in a fast-paced environment devoted to exploring ideas shaping the future.

TEDxGateway relies on support from our community to further our goal of making great ideas accessible and helping create a future worth pursuing for all. When you apply to partner and help build TEDxGateway, you’re not just making the conference happen  – you’re directly supporting a powerful mission to share powerful ideas with the world.

Speaking on
Our Stage

Speaking on our stage

We search year-round for speakers who will inform and inspire, surprise and delight. TEDxGateway isn't a typical conference, and the TED audience has high expectations for the speakers – amazing individuals who invent game-changing devices, run the world's most admired companies, design its best-loved products and create ground-breaking media. TEDx also seeks out emerging artists, scientists, thinkers and doers, introducing them to the TED community well before they hit the mainstream.

How are speakers selected? Conference speakers are selected by our curatorial team who identify and investigate ideas and innovations that matter. We invite prominent experts, artists, activists and many others to attend and present our signature TED Talks in their areas of research and expertise.

If you know someone who belongs on the TEDxGateway stage, or if you belong there yourself, we want to hear from you! Learn more about speaking at TEDxGateway, then use the speaker nomination form to tell us why this person would be well-matched to the TEDx stage.
