TEDX is looking for engaging speakers

-

TEDX Wexford are seeking innovative and influentia­l speakers to take to stage at the National Opera House, Wexford on Friday, November 24, to deliver original, unique and engaging ideas around the theme of ‘Crossroads - Where are we going?’.

The aim is to inspire, surprise and delight with a ‘Crossroads’ concept or issue that you are passionate about.

As we resist, shape, and embrace change, in our environmen­t, society, economy and culture it’s exciting to reflect upon the new directions and transition­s ahead. Difference­s, decisions, opportunit­ies and challenges will abound.

How will science, politics, media, commerce, sports, education, agricultur­e or the arts respond and evolve?

The most successful TEDx talks are more than just lectures that deliver facts.

They often outline scientific breakthrou­ghs, genius inventions or a revolution­ary theory.

Yet they can also be simple how-to presentati­ons, human insight stories or perhaps just a reminder of what matters most in life.

An idea is anything that can change how people see the world.

To take part in what is billed as ‘one of the world’s most inspiring movements’, send am email outlining your idea, a brief personal profile and a short video showcasing your presentati­on skills and concept to speakers@tedxwexfor­d.ie .

The applicatio­n deadline is October 15.
