Thank you for your interest in speaking at TEDxBillings! We appreciate your enthusiasm and passion for sharing ideas worth spreading. Please be advised that TEDxBillings selects its speakers and performers based on the strength of their applications. Our selection process consists of a thorough 3-step review, which culminates in a “Golden Ticket” themed launch event in February each year. We kindly request that all chosen speakers be available and present in Billings, Montana, for this community press event day. While TEDxBillings is dedicated to providing an enriching experience for our speakers and performers, applicants need to know that air travel expenses to and from Billings, especially for speakers traveling from out of state, will not be covered or reimbursed by TEDxBillings. If selected to speak and travel costs are a hurdle, we can discuss on a case by case basis. However, for speakers and performers attending TEDxBillings mandatory gatherings in Billings, we do provide complimentary hotel accommodations (maximum 2 night stay) to ensure your comfort and convenience. It's essential to understand that TEDxBillings is a non-profit organization, and our success is made possible through the generous support of our partners who share our belief that ideas are worth sharing. Thank you for your understanding and commitment to our shared mission. We look forward to reviewing your application and the opportunity to bring your compelling ideas to our stage. I have read the “Disclaimer for TEDxBillings Speaker Applications” and understand the information as described within.
