Welcome to the TED reddit - dedicated to spreading, discussing and implementing the ideas espoused by the worldwide TED conferences.

We've all been grabbed by one of the incredible talks available at TED. Why not post a link here and start a discussion about how it changed you.

Although it's redditor-created and -moderated, TED staff are not only reading this reddit, but are happy to step out from behind the proverbial bar, grab a beer, and join in interesting conversation. And they can also go back behind said bar to give official, canonical replies to questions or concerns about TED :)

People can talk about anything -- not strictly about TED stuff. This is a place for "TED people," not solely "about TED".

All are welcome, blogspam discouraged.

How do people (students) get chosen for TedX talks?

Hello,

I was browsing throught YouTube and came across several videos of teenagers giving Tedx talks at their schools or universities. How were they chosen as speakers I am wondering? Does anyone get to speak at such events or is their an application process?

How long until reply from Ted Nomination?

I just submitted my nomination, and I was wondering approximately how long until someone from Ted reaches out to me if they accept my nomination.

I don't want to keep my hopes up if they reject me. Though I think I have a good chance, If you want to, check out my LinkedIn profile, Evan Fernando (the 17-year-old), to see.

TEDx - Trust Is Not A Crime

I thought this talk might be interesting to some in this group: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDWejMhd6EI

In “Trust is Not a Crime” Shannon Moroney shares her personal journey following the violent crimes of her first husband, diving deep into justice, healing and how we can — and must — stop shaming and blaming victims.

TED Talk: What DEI gets wrong — and how to do it right

Happy to share that my #TEDx talk has been selected for the main TED site: What DEI gets wrong — and how to do it right

There is lot of polarization around #DEI, I believe a lot of it is because we are focused on the wrong measurements. This talk suggests how we can measure inclusion in a way that makes it possible to have more diverse and satisfied employees, while making more money - without creating any backlash.

Looking for a specific talk on wishes and community, please!

Hi! I am trying to find a specific video where a woman talks about how if you speak your wish to a community over a certain size then there a good chance they can make it happen. I think a couple examples were someone getting to dance with Tom Cruise and another one getting a cruise. Does anyone know which one I'm talking about please?

Looking for a TEDx talk on mind/body connection

Hi, I saw a TEDx Canada talk a few years ago (not sure which city), by a young male professor/doctor, looked like Indian ethnicity, and the topic was how the mind/brain and the body is connected/integrated.

I have searched all the TEDx sites I cn find but no luck, is there a list somewhere of all TED/x talks?

Appreciate any response on this

I recently saw a Tedx talk by a person who is running a fraud. How can I report against it?

Hi folks, so I recently saw this Tedx talk by a person who claims to be a billionaire but they are actually running a fraud. The twitter account of that person and their company is full of complaints. It just saddens me that such people get to influence millions of people through a platform as reputed as TED. Is there a way to report to TED about the person? Some process that can lead to an impact such as removal of that Ted talk from youtube?

Event ideas for TEDx club?

my TEDx club is supposed to conduct an event. we have already conducted a TEDx talk. we have to wait for another year before we conduct another talk but we need to keep the club mainstream in our college and conduct some events. any suggestions? We do not want any panel discussions or stuff like that either where someone is just speaking and the audience is listening. Any suggestions as to what can be done? we'd like to do something along the lines of technology, entertainment, and design.

Almost at 500k views

I posted here years ago thanking the Reddit community for watching my TED talk from 2019 on effective decision making. I just got a note from my friend that my talk is at 499,000 views on the TED website. What do you say? Can you help push me over 500,000 and maybe improve your decision making in the process? Much appreciated!
