TEDxDenton

Denton, Texas is not a city that blends into the background. It is a place where a world-class university meets a fiercely independent music scene, where researchers and artists and educators share the same streets, and where big ideas have always had a way of finding each other. TEDxDenton 2027 is the first TEDx event independently licensed to the city of Denton itself, and it is long overdue. Independently organized under license from TED, TEDxDenton brings together the thinkers, makers, educators, scientists, musicians, and storytellers who call this region home, alongside voices from beyond it, to share ideas worth spreading. This is not a conference. It is a conversation, one that starts here, and travels far. Want to speak? We are now accepting speaker applications. If you have an idea worth spreading, we want to hear from you.

TEDxDenton is organized entirely by volunteers. By TED's official guidelines, every person who helps bring this event to life does so on a volunteer basis. No monetary compensation of any kind is provided to organizers, committee members, or volunteers. What we offer instead is something harder to find: the chance to be part of something that matters, in the city we love. We are currently forming the following committees and looking for passionate people to join them: Curation Committee — help identify and develop TEDxDenton speakers Event Production — manage the logistics and run-of-show for the big day Sponsorships and Budget — build partnerships and track the event budget Communications and Marketing — tell the TEDxDenton story to the world Website — build and maintain our website Video and Production — cameras, audio, livestream, and post-event uploads Speaker Hospitality — take care of our speakers from acceptance to event day General Volunteer — day-of support at the venue TEDxDenton 2027 is planned for May 2027 in Denton, Texas. The venue and exact date are still to be announced. Interested in joining the team?
