Frequently asked question
I want to be a speaker. Where do I start?
Formulating an idea begins with deciding on an interesting question about a core challenge that people or students face. Typically this is a question that has either failed to have been answered effectively in the past, would significantly increase growth, or avoid a serious market issue. Next, apply online!
How do I nominate a speaker?
Fill out our speaker nomination form, and our Speakers Committee will contact the individuals directly and ask them to fill out an application.
Can I nominate a speaker I don't know personally?
Please do! Just let us know how you've heard about this person, and why you think they should speak at TED.
Do I have to be affiliated with MSU to apply to be a speaker?
No. All applications will still be openly accepted and considered, regardless of MSU affiliation. However, as the purpose of TEDxMSU is to promote ideas tied to MSU, there will be a strong preference for applicants affiliated with the University.
Can I speak at TEDxMSU by becoming a sponsor?
No. Please reference the rules for sponsoring a TEDx event. Sponsoring TEDxMSU has many benefits, but a guaranteed speaking slot is not one of them.
I want to be a part of the team. How do I join?
We open team applications on the start of the Fall Semester. You can find us at Sparticipation, direct message our Instagram, email us, or send us a message on our Contact Us page! We look forward to hearing from you.
