Become a Speaker
Got an idea worth spreading at TEDxBerlin?
TEDxTalks are part of a globally recognised platform, and we’re excited to hear from passionate individuals with bold, original ideas. That said, not every application results in a speaking opportunity. Sometimes the topic isn’t quite right for TEDx (we don’t allow political or religious agendas, pseudoscience, or any form of commercial promotion), or the idea may simply not align with what we’re looking for right now.

So, what do we look for at TEDxBerlin?
- We’re searching for ideas that haven’t been heard before—something fresh, thought-provoking and insightful.
- We love stories that show genuine curiosity and passion for your subject.
- We’re after a talk, not a lecture, keynote or performance.
- Failure is as compelling as success—both are welcome if they serve the idea.
- A TEDxTalk should take us on a journey, with a clear beginning, middle and end. It’s about offering the audience a new perspective, not selling a product, pushing an agenda, or giving an opinion without evidence.
When preparing your pitch, please keep in mind:
- Talks are no longer than 18 minutes—they can be shorter, but not longer.
- You must memorise your talk—no notes on stage.
- If you’re a professional speaker, show us something different from your usual style—we’re not looking for polished corporate presentations.
- TEDx is not a platform for self-promotion. The red dot is a space to share ideas, not to promote businesses, brands or personal projects.
Our team aims to respond to every applicant, but due to the high volume of submissions, it may take some time to carefully review your application. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
