Coming from all walks of life they are given the opportunity to present their ideas on stage in 5 minutes to be awarded the "People's Choice" speaker of the year. During these 5 minutes they strive to convince the curation team and the audience of their TED-worthy speech. We will use an online voting system to track the progress. The winner will then get the chance to stand on the main TEDxUStreetWomen stage as the "People's Choice" Speaker of the Year. This is our first year doing this and we may consider doing this every year. We are so excited to be apart of TEDxLive!
