About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
We are looking for ideas that
- inspire and invite conversations
- challenge our conceptions of what is possible
- expose us to cutting edge ideas and solutions
- reflect new voices that may not have been heard before
- represent diverse speakers by demographic, ethnicity, background and/or topic
We will reject ideas that
- vague or underdeveloped or unsupported by data
- purely motivation or personal in nature
- already ubiquitous
- are motivated by or seek to promote corporate, political, or religious agendas
Interested? We invite you to apply as a speaker or performer. Applications will be accepted through Friday, December 14, 2018. Please follow the link to the survey below.
