Hello TEDx’ers!
Only two weeks until TEDxCity2.0 on September 20!
Below, we’ve included a few ideas to help you host a great event.
Turn Ideas Into Action
TEDxCity2.0 isn’t just about holding an event; it’s about igniting your local community around what’s going on in your city. We’ve created an action toolkit to help you bring ideas off the stage and into the world.
We encourage you to take action in one of two ways at your TEDxCity2.0 event:
-
Answer a call to action from the TEDCity2.0 stage and customize it for your local community.
Come up with a simple action that could improve your city and give people at your event an easy way to carry it out (e.g. signing a petition or planting trees).
Tell us how you take action on the City2.0 website, by email at ci...@ted.com, or on social media with the hashtag #TEDCityAct. We’re excited to see what you do!
Help Us Recruit Social Media Leaders
We’re looking for Social Media Leaders who want to attend a local TEDx event and document it on blogs, twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
Here’s how you can help:
-
Email your team and local community asking if anyone is interested in being a TEDx Social Media Leader for TEDxCity2.0.
Encourage anyone interested to join our Facebook group for TEDx Social Media Leaders.
Share the official event hashtag: #TEDxCity and encourage people to use it during your event.
Having a social media leader at your event will help us hear about the amazing work you’re doing, and can lead to a possible feature on the TEDx blog.
Follow @TED on Instagram
To see how other cities are driving change in their communities, follow @TED on Instagram.
Customize Your Event Design
We’ve created a new Design Manual to help you design event materials. If you need help with branding, this is your go-to resource. If you create your own personalized event design, please email to ama...@ted.com no later than end of day Monday, September 9th.
We can’t wait to see all the ideas that come out of your events!
Best,
The TEDx Team
