Become a Speaker

The goal of TEDxWilsonPark is to bring together bright minds to give talks that are idea-focused, and on a wide range of subjects, to foster learning, inspiration and provoke conversations that matter.

If selected, your talk would be filmed and an edit hosted on the TEDx YouTube channel. Just as with all speakers, it is imperative and required that, if chosen, we work together ahead of time to craft the talk. Your talk will be about 12 minutes in length, on any topic you're interested in or known for.

*Applications for our 2024 event are now being accepted. The deadline for submission is May 14. TEDxWP24 takes place on Friday, October 25. This year’s theme is “HUMAN.” We invite you to check out videos from previous years and get an idea of what we look for in speakers!

TEDx talks are about ideas. In one sentence, summarize your idea.

How does your idea connect to the world/our area? Why is it important?

Why are YOU speaking on this subject? What qualifies you to speak on this subject? We want to know your credentials and direct experiences around the subject you would like to share on stage. Also, what specifically are you actively doing to pursue this idea? Is there any applied research being done to support this idea?

Any social media websites you have (Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.)

I understand that TEDx speakers are not paid for their talks, are not compensated for any expenses getting to the conference, and the talks must strictly adhere to the TEDx guidelines. If you are selected for a phone interview, you will be contacted by email before May 31, 2024.

I understand

A successful TED or TEDx talk requires not only a great idea, but a great deal of hard work. If selected, you will be required to edit and revise your talk, to commit your presentation to memory, and to meet regularly with a TEDx Wilson Park speaker coach. By submitting this application, you agree that, if accepted, you will complete this process fully and to the best of your ability.
