TEDxAugusta Call for Speakers

Staff Report From Augusta CEO

Wednesday, September 20th, 2017

Are you a thinker? A doer? An idea generator? Whatever you have to say or whatever field you’re in, if you have an “idea worth spreading,” you just might be a candidate to speak at TEDxAugusta.

Now in its fourth year, TEDxAugusta has announced a call for speakers for its next event, set for February 3, 2018. Anyone with an idea to share is eligible to apply, and past speakers have included artists, musicians, doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, techies, innovators, writers, reporters, politicians and more. 

This year’s talks should speak to TEDxAugusta’s 2018 theme: Venture – Dare to be Audacious. We hope to inspire more people in our community to venture out of their comfort zone by sharing stories and lessons from thought and action leaders.

Organizers will work with speakers to help them practice and rehearse prior to the event. For specific guidelines on how to be an effective TEDx speaker as well as videos of past TEDxAugusta talks, visit http://tedxaugusta.com.  

The online application is available at http://tedxaugusta.com/speakers. The call for speakers closes on October 11th.
