  • DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA WORTH SHARING?

    We are now accepting speaker applications for TEDxColePark Studio!

  • SPEAKER APPLICATION TIPS

    1

    KNOW THE FORMAT

    Watch lots of TED and TEDx talks to become familiar with the format. We are looking for idea-centered talks, not motivational speeches, personal histories or sales pitches.

    2

    SUPPORT THE THEME

    Although it is not required, try to make sure your talk idea fits within the theme of our event. We are looking for a broad range of topics and ideas, but your talk should connect in some way with the overall focus of the event.

    3

    PROVIDE CREDENTIALS

    You don’t have to be THE expert on the topic you want to discuss, but you should be AN expert – or at least have some relevant experience or personal connection to the idea.

    Review the TEDx Illustrated Speaker Guide.

    This is an especially helpful resource for planning your talk. We recommend reviewing it before submitting your talk idea.

  • READY TO SUBMIT YOUR TALK IDEA?

    Only a limited number of speakers will be accepted, and only accepted speakers will be notified.
