Become a speaker
Submissions for our 2026 program are closed. You are welcome to submit for consideration for future events.
TEDxKC is an ideas platform. We are not looking for great speakers, we are looking for great ideas. What is your idea, insight, discovery, invention, research, science, art, social justice program, etc. — that the world needs to hear about? If you are a great speaker, fantastic. If not, if your idea is chosen, we will help you develop the talk and your speaking style.
Become a volunteer
Volunteers are the reason why TEDxKC is one of the largest TEDx events in the world. In addition to being part of a great event, TEDxKC volunteers get exclusive TEDxKC details and behind-the-scenes opportunities.
