Julian Treasure announced as curator of TED series on listening for 2026 conference

It's just been confirmed last week that Julian Treasure will be curating a TED Conferences series on listening for their 2026 conference, which tells you everything about the importance of listening in our time and where Julian stands in the field. In a world where everyone's talking and nobody's hearing each other, Julian's spent his career showing organisations why listening might be the most powerful skill we're all neglecting, and that's why companies bring him in when conversations break down and real understanding goes missing. Julian doesn't just talk about listening—he knows exactly what will get teams to actually communicate, collaborate, and connect.
