What We Look For

To be considered, your “Idea Worth Spreading” should be:

1. New
2. Interesting
3. Evidence-Based and Realistic

The speaker delivering the idea must:

1. Live and/or work in the Twin Cities Area. If you are from another area, use this link to find a TEDx near you!
2. Be the best person in the Twin Cities to speak to this idea
3. Be compelling, authentic, and engaging in communicating their idea

If this sounds like you, we want to hear more!

The Details

• Submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis, however, candidates are encouraged to submit ideas early!
• Themes for events are selected after speakers are identified. We are always looking for a wide breadth of topics.
• If selected for the next round of consideration, you will be contacted by a member of the curation team to learn more about you and your idea.
• If you are not contacted within the next few months, there is still a chance we may reach out to you in the future, as each event features a different mix of topics and speakers.
