TEDxBillings is dedicated to providing an enriching platform for innovative entertainers. However, it's essential to clarify that we do not feature covers, copies, or reproductions of another artist's work. We celebrate and showcase the creativity and originality of our performers.

TEDxBillings is a non-profit organization, and our success is made possible through the support of partners who share our belief in the power of unique ideas and experiences. We are excited to explore your application and the opportunity to feature your original performance at our event.
