TEDxWomen event

• Events can take place anytime during the year.
• You can feature live talks by local speakers.
• You can also feature talks from all previous TEDWomen activations and other relevant talks from the TED Talks library.
  → For your use, our team curates and updates a playlist of select talks (subtitled and available in at least five languages).
  → Learn more about content guidance below.
• All standard TEDx rules apply to a TEDxWomen event.

If you are a first-time TEDx licensee, apply using a location-based name followed by "Women," like so: TEDx[Location Name] Women. Existing TEDx licensees have the option to use the “Women" OR their standard TEDx event name when organizing their TEDxWomen event (e.g., “TEDxAmsterdam” OR “TEDxAmsterdam Women”).

Your audience should be from the area or community where you are holding your TEDxWomen event. We recommend that organizers carefully curate their audience, and select a diverse group of people who can contribute meaningfully to the conversation.

Like standard TEDx events, TEDxWomen events can have up to 100 in-person guests. Only individuals who have attended a qualifying TED conference can organize an event with more than 100 attendees.

You can choose to curate only live talks by local speakers, only stream TED content, or feature a combination of both — you’re not required to share TED content at your event.

You're allowed to stream all talks from previous TEDWomen activations and other relevant talks from the TED Talks library for your audience, through YouTube or TED.com. TED will not provide downloadable files.

Please note that TED content can only be shared with an in-person audience, and you are not permitted to stream any TED content through online platforms. However, if you plan to invite remote attendees for a hybrid event experience, you are allowed to stream your own curated talks by local speakers.

At your event, you’ll want to feature a diversity of speakers from across several disciplines, but primarily people who are from the local community you’re serving. To get an idea of what you want the focus of your event to be, learn more about themes.

TEDxWomen events can be up to one day in length.

The ticket price you may charge to cover event expenses depends on your Licensing Tier. Events organized by a Community tier licensee may charge up to $150 USD per ticket.

If you plan to livestream your TEDxWomen event for remote attendees, you will not be able to stream TED content via your team’s YouTube channel.

• Our team will not unblock your event’s YouTube channel for your event.
• If your program includes TED content: you can still livestream your event, but you’ll have to use a platform other than YouTube.
• If your program only includes local talks: you may livestream your event via any platform including YouTube, no unblocking required.
