How do I become a speaker for TEDxMontreal?

The exciting journey of becoming a speaker for TEDxMontréal begins with an Idea. If you believe your idea is worth sharing with us, your city, and the world, then thoroughly fill out the idea proposal form. A committee dedicated to the programming of the event will review the applications sent via this form and will establish a list of the most interesting suggestions. The candidates on that list are then interviewed in order to learn more about their idea.



Once their ideas have been more deeply explored, a second selection committee – this time consisting of professionals from a variety of fields – examines the applications. The programming committee presents each application to the selection committee and the latter eventually votes to choose the speakers that will be part of the next TEDxMontréal edition.



Speakers are then coached all year long in order to prepare their talk, not only to make it a success on the day of the event but also to make it even more likely to be shared online in the TED community after the event.
