No, TED cannot connect you with speakers. As TEDx events are independently organized, selecting speakers is the responsibility of each volunteer organizing team.
TEDx events are intended to feature local voices, amplifying and celebrating regional expertise and innovation - no one knows your community better than you! TEDx organizers are best positioned to find and showcase the amazing things their area has to offer.
To learn more about selecting speakers for a TEDx event, please visit our TEDx Organizer Guide. To learn more about speaking at a TEDx event, please see our ‘Speaking at TEDx’ page.
Please note that TED is not able to share the contact information of previous TED speakers.
