TEDx Open Application Roundup 8/3/26
8 Events are looking for speakers!
There are 8 open TEDx applications waiting for you at the end of this post!
First, congratulations to everyone recently selected for TEDxUnityPark, TEDxNaples, TEDxAstorPlace, and other upcoming stages. If you’ve been selected, let me know! I’ll keep it anonymous until you’re cleared to announce, then I’d love to celebrate and share your talk.
New here? Welcome 🤗! I’m here to demystify the TEDx process and help more underrepresented voices access opportunities to share their ideas.
I also host a monthly masterclass for anyone getting started. We’ll review the opportunities below, answer application questions, and discuss which events may be the strongest fit for your idea.
Speaker Accelerator Masterclass
Next Class: Tuesday, August 18, 2026 at 9am-10:30am PDT / 12-1:30pm EDT

We’ll cover what organizers are actually looking for, how to shape an idea worth spreading, common application mistakes, how to choose the right events, video pitch strategies, what happens after you submit, and live Q&A.
