TEDx

Curating a TEDx talk is a team effort, but the development process is often limited to a small group with a single speaker, a curator, and coaches. To provide more robust support and help speakers feel connected, TEDxSam Houston State University in Houston, US, introduced Speaker Circles. Each Circle brought together 3–4 speakers, their speaking coaches, and event directors for monthly meetings. Early sessions focused on refining ideas, while later ones served as a space for speakers to practice delivering their developed talks.. This structure created a strong feedback loop, encouraged consistent progress, and built a collaborative speaker community. The result? Stronger talks, more confident speakers, and a true support network leading up to event day. How do you support your speakers? Let us know! [??: TEDxSHSU] #TEDx #TED #TEDxevents #TEDxSHSU #curation

In today's world, we witness the destruction of nature day in and day out. The feeling of love, sadness, and guilt caused by this loss is called ecological grief. Environmental activist Knut Ivar Bj?rlykhaug invites us to use this complex feeling to power our actions for the planet, today: https://go.ted.com/6DEt

Seize every opportunity to bond with your fellow teams. In Taichung, Taiwan, TEDxTaichung gathered 10 teams from across the country for a daylong Regional Workshop. Participants included volunteers from standard teams, university teams and youth teams. By starting with a morning of icebreaker activities, the group had a chance to get familiar with each other before jumping into breakout sessions to share insights about event design and social media as well as dream up their visions for the year. Though organizers often meet for the first time at activations like workshops, Weekends and conferences, the shared TEDx spirit creates a shared foundation for fast-formed connections. By crafting the event together (literally — the team made an X-shaped photo wall with handmade origami), the TEDxTaichung team also found a way to share time and collaborate in a low-pressure environment.

Consider adopting a signature visual style to set your events apart. TEDxLondon in London, UK has used a consistent design identity throughout several events. While each event’s theme and specific assets change, the base graphics and main colors stay the same — making the series more easily recognizable and memorable. An important factor here is crafting a dynamic identity that can be configured into various combinations. As their events have continued, the team has adopted several elements that make repeat appearances: a popular bookstore, wayfinders and speaker meetup areas. A new addition this year was a shortlist of theater etiquette on the back of each attendee pass, helping to facilitate a smooth event experience.
