BECOME A SPEAKER ON OUR STAGE

THEME - OVER THE EDGE

Seize the chance to illuminate minds and be part of a transformative experience at TEDxHHN in January 2024!

At TEDxHHN we aim to give a stage to individuals that shape and change the future of our world. A TEDx talk is a short, intense talk, given live without notes or podium, that has a powerful idea at its core – an “idea worth spreading”.

Do you have an “idea worth spreading” on the TEDxHHN stage? Great ideas are not only inspiring but have the potential to create a lasting impact. They can change an audience's current perspective or even open them up to a whole new way of thinking. We've put together a short list to give you an idea of which ideas are worth sharing and which may not be appropriate for our stage.

WHY TEDxHHN?

Under the motto “Over The Edge” you will share your thought provoking and unique ideas ranging from technology to global issues. After your TEDx Talk is delivered in Heilbronn, a vibrant and forward-thinking city, it can be featured on the TEDx YouTube channel, in TED newsletters and on the TED.com website, building brand awareness in front of 36 million viewers.

Good talks:

  • Novel and groundbreaking idea or a basic idea with a compelling new argument

  • Multidisciplinary, crazy, original, out-of-the-box ideas

  • Innovative concepts and solutions that challenge a common perspective

  • Dynamic presentation style with a clear message, humor and interactive elements

  • Scientific talks backed by empirical evidence

  • Addressing the motto „Over The Edge”

Bad talks:

  • Divisive talks instead of thoughtful and solution-oriented

  • Promotion of own products, books, or businesses

  • Religious agendas to promote or denigrate specific religious beliefs

  • Copyright infringement
