Soft Skills Are Hardcore: Redefining the Future In a world increasingly driven by automation and data, it is the deeply human abilities that truly set us apart. TEDxInnsbruck 2026 brings together a remarkable lineup of speakers to challenge the misconception that interpersonal skills are secondary — because they never were. Empathy. Communication. Resilience. Active listening. What were once dismissed as "soft" skills are now the truest signs of strength — and Actual Intelligence in the age of Artificial Intelligence. Speakers from remarkably different professional worlds share personal stories and bold ideas that reveal how human skills matter most in the places we least expect. From deep empathy to resilient leadership, we unpack the high-impact abilities that drive real innovation, lasting change, and meaningful success. As technology accelerates, technical expertise alone is no longer enough. The true currency of the future is human connection: the ability to build trust, navigate uncertainty, lead through crisis, and create relationships that matter.This evening is an invitation to think differently, listen deeply, and leave with ideas that stay with you long after the night is over — while connecting with fellow forward-thinkers who are ready to shape what comes next. Discover why soft skills are actually the most hardcore tools we have. The Event is held in english.
