TEDxAugusta 2016 Announces Call for Speakers

Staff Report From Augusta CEO

Friday, September 4th, 2015

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 third year, TEDxAugusta has announced a call for speakers for its next event, set for January 29, 2016. 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 2016 theme: Autonomy.

This year’s event will take place at the Imperial Theater in historic downtown Augusta.   Organizers also 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 September 30th.
