FAQs
How can I apply to become a speaker?
Our application cycle typically begins every year in August when we open up our initial online application. Within a few weeks, we select around 20 applicants to move onto the interview phase. Finally, we select 6-10 candidates to speak at our TEDxNCState conference.

To learn when the application opens, we encourage you to subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on Instagram @tedxnstate.

I missed the application deadline---can I still pitch my Talk idea?
Unfortunately, due to the high volume of application submissions we receive, we cannot accept late submissions.
Additionally, we ask that you refrain from emailing us your Talk idea outside of the application cycle. Any submissions sent outside of the application will not be considered.
