Just a bit beyond Wellesley, TEDxNatick, an independently organized TED Talks event, is seeking speakers to present at its upcoming event.

Your application must be submitted by September 10, 2017.

TEDxNatick’s theme is “Stories That Inspire,” so whether the content of the talk is science, technology, design, entertainment, psychology, community engagement, or individual achievement, the talk should inspire a broad audience. Creativity and local speakers with compelling stories are particularly cherished. You may nominate another person or yourself for the audition process by providing the information outlined at the group’s website on the Speaker Nomination tab. For more information visit www.tedxnatick.org or email info@tedxnatick.org

If you are one of the 10 – 15 speakers to make it through the audition process, you’ll be groomed for success by professional coaches and rehearsals. Then, on Saturday, January 20, 2018, it will be just you, the spotlight, and a rapt audience.
