TEDxAarhus 2026 Speaker Application

Welcome to TEDxAarhus 2026! We're excited you're here and ready to share your idea worth spreading! Before you get too far along, please be aware of some TEDx speaker guidelines. The big ones are: no promoting/pitching/requesting funding, no partisan politics/proselytizing/pseudoscience, and no hate speech of any kind. If you fall in these categories, this isn't your stage and there's no need to proceed.

If you're outside of those, let's get started!

*For full consideration for the speaker lineup, please submit by 15 July.

Name

Email

Phone number

In 2-3 sentences, what is your big idea worth spreading?

In one sentence, what's the take home message/ big aha! moment for the audience?

Why does Aarhus or the world need this message now? (2-3 sentences)

This year's theme is "Growing Reputation". How might your talk relate to this theme? (Reminder that talks do not need to be about the theme).

In 2-3 sentences, what unique perspective, lived experience, or expertise do you bring to this subject? Why are you the best person to give this talk?

Please upload or add a link (box on the right) a 1-2 min video just introducing yourself and the topic.

No need to overthink this- it can be just a quick one from the phone.

Feel free to share links to your social media or other talks you've given.

And finally, the handful of tick boxes

I am available the full day of 7 November to participate in the TEDxAarhus event.

I am aware that TEDx speakers are required to work with the curation team to refine and improve their talk and I am willing and able to make time for this. (Estimated at least 2 rounds of script writing and feedback and 2-3 rehearsals, plus a final rehearsal).

I understand this is a volunteer opportunity.

I agree to the TEDx Speaker Guidelines below.
