An authentic dialogue
Sponsors are partners joining us on a journey. Not a marketing buy. A collaborative relationship with a community committed to ideas worth spreading.
Partner in something meaningful.
TEDxDallas invites partners into something different. Not a sponsorship transaction, but a collaborative relationship with one of the most curious, open-minded audiences in the Dallas region, and a platform built to outlast a single day on stage.
Why Partner
Partners, not just sponsors.
TEDx gives partners an opportunity to do something different. To engage in an authentic dialogue with an elusive, valuable audience: passionate, open-minded people in our community who are curious, intelligent, and hungry to learn.
An audience worth meeting
Educators, founders, technologists, civic leaders, and creatives from across the Dallas region. Curious, open-minded, intelligent, and hungry to learn. The audience your brand has been trying to reach.
A platform that lives on
TEDx talks live forever on YouTube. Your partnership lives on with them: in every video frame end-card, in every story we tell about the launch of TEDxDallas.
Showcase what you're building
Partnership opens the door to lobby activations, idea-lab demos, and direct face time with attendees. Bring a story, a project, or a question your organization wants to put in front of curious people.
A test for what comes next
Partner with TEDxDallas to test ideas for the future and be challenged to positively impact your community in new ways. Your involvement helps shape what TEDxDallas becomes in the years to come.
Brand alignment
Public association with one of the most respected intellectual brands in the world. A clear signal to your customers, employees, and recruits about the ideas your organization cares about.
Partnership Tiers
Five ways to join the journey.
Each tier is more than a price point. Each is a different way to engage with the TEDxDallas community, the talks, and what comes next. All packages are flexible. Let's talk about what works for your organization.
