Jake Hoppe

Change Agent, Event planner, Explorer, Project manager, Technologist

As the licensee and President of TEDxCooksHill, I am deeply committed to fostering a platform where innovative ideas intersect with community spirit. My role allows me to merge my passion for community engagement with the dynamic exchange of thoughts and perspectives that TEDx events are known for. At TEDxCooksHill, we continually strive to push beyond conventional boundaries, encouraging dialogue that challenges and enlightens. In Newcastle, a city vibrant with culture and community, I find a resonant backdrop for these global conversations. As a young leader, my focus is on harnessing this local vibrancy to influence broader dialogues, ensuring that our unique perspectives reach the global stage. My leadership is about more than overseeing; it's about inspiring our community and myself with every event, fostering a space where learning and inspiration flourish through the power of shared ideas.

I am passionate about creating spaces where community and innovation converge, fostering environments that not only challenge existing paradigms but also inspire new ones. At TEDxCooksHill, my aim is to harness the unique spirit and intellectual potential of Newcastle, transforming it into a hub for global ideas. I believe in the power of connection—bringing together diverse voices to share, learn, and grow. This passion extends into my entrepreneurial ventures, where I am committed to developing sustainable solutions that make everyday life better while protecting our planet. Both professionally and personally, my passion drives me to lead, inspire, and contribute to a more thoughtful world.
