Frequently asked questions.

Each event requires a new lease from TED to produce. This means we are only able to talk about one event at a time. To keep this section the most up-to-date, please refer to the homepage for any updates.

The first TEDxCharlotte was in 2010. We have held ten events as of August 2022.

All speakers must be from the Charlotte area and fill out a speaker application. Since we cannot accept applications for future events (per TED rules) we will open the applications as soon as a new license is approved.

Additionally, we are revamping our Speaker Page so stay tuned for more information.

Since we are working on updating our website and infrastructure, please email us at hello@tedxcharlotte.com to get involved.

Anyone is welcome to attend TEDxCharlotte. We do not require an application to attend, just watch for ticket availability and purchase your ticket. The best way to know how when tickets are available is to join our mailing list.

Once tickets go on sale there will be a link on the homepage. We will also notify our mailing list..

TEDxCharlotte is a community organization. Our event is run solely by a team of dedicated volunteers, and money collected from ticket fees is allocated back to the event to support costs for venue, operations, food, after party & satellite events.

We try to keep the cost as low as possible with ticket prices around $35-50. This is a very low fee for the whole day (including lunch) and is subsidized by our generous sponsors.

There are a limited number of media passes available for the day’s events. For any inquiries, please contact Jill Bjers at hello@tedxcharlotte.com
