An idea worth spreading.

Calling speakers and performers from across the Dallas region. The TEDxDallas stage is looking for the ideas, voices, and artistry that make this region unforgettable.

Dallas Is Listening For

Is this you? Or someone you know?

Here's what the TEDxDallas Selection Committee will be listening for when the call opens.

An idea no one has heard yet

A new insight, a defended argument, or a finding that changes how we see something familiar. Not a copy of a TED Talk you love. Something the TED world hasn't heard before, with an idea worth defending and a perspective the global community may not have access to.

A voice from across the region

Local leaders, educators, artists, students, entrepreneurs, first responders. The people doing extraordinary work across technology, healthcare, logistics, education, and entrepreneurship. Especially the work that's gone unrecognized.

A performer to elevate the stage

Spoken word poets, singers, musicians, dancers, comedians. Local artists whose craft can light up a moment and tie a day of ideas together. If your work makes a room lean in, this is your invitation.

The Call Opens

July, 2026.

The call for speakers and performers will open soon. Be the first to know the moment it does.
