Apply as speaker or performer

There are many speaking opportunities – but only one TEDx.

We are looking for people who can delight our audience with short and focused talks on a wide range of subjects, or thrilling artistic performances. To get a better idea of what a TEDx talk could look like and what we are seeking, please see our past talks and the secrets to a great talk from Chris Anderson, head of TED.
