Want to do a TEDx talk? Advice from someone who is working on one... Don't! "The application processes are cutthroat with a minuscule acceptance rate, leading many applicants to wonder how to crack the code." - Stephanie Burns, Forbes Magazine. That's because it's wrong! TEDx isn't about applications, it's about independent curation. People like me partner with local leaders to curate the event. Simply by wanting to be on the TEDx stage, researching how and taking steps to contact an organiser you're actually diluting the very purpose of a TEDx. Now it's not your fault and there's no blame here. Just awareness. You see, the desire to be on the TED stage gives rise to parasites and con-artists who will sell services to get you on that stage. I know because I receive 100's of these. How to actually get on the TEDx stage: Elevate your local community Selflessly volunteer at your local TEDx Do something noteworthy #tedx #tedconferences #tedtalks #purpose

Dear Midlands Businesses, I will be blunt and to the point. Tamworth is staging TEDxTamworth in March 2025. For those who don't know what TEDx Talk events are, they local events that bring the spirit of TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) to communities around the globe. Modelled after the TED format, these events consist of a series of short, carefully prepared talks, demonstrations, and performances on a wide range of subjects. There will be a limited number of tickets available (due to the rules specified by TEDx, however the event will be livestreamed globally). We are hoping to showcase the best and the brightest talent from across the Midlands with this one day event, but we also need sponsors and donors to enable us to put it on. Having just attended the The Midlands Business Network Ltd I’m convinced that we have many great companies across the whole of the Midlands (and beyond) who would be prepared to support the event with even the smallest donation/contribution. We now have a rough estimate of £30,000 to stage TEDxTamworth, so the maths are simple. We either need 300 companies to sponsor us £100 each, or 30 companies to donate £1,000 (or various combinations in between). This is a not-for-profit event - we have a venue, so everything else goes towards hosting the event and showcasing the speakers.
