A Premier TEDx Event
One of the largest TEDx events in the world calls Boulder home. Since 2010, every fall has seen a remarkable community event in Boulder, where 2,200 people gather to hear world-class speakers expand on their experiences and ideas. We pride ourselves on the quality of the event, and that shows — six of our videos have been reedited and featured on TED.com. The community's love and value for the event are evident as it has sold out every year.

Got a Question?
Have a look at our frequently asked questions below.
How Do You Pick Speakers?
Speakers who would like to submit their name to speak can do so via a form that is open most of the year. A committee reviews all of the submissions through a double blind process and the top 30 are invited for an in person interview. The 12 speakers for our big event are selected and go through building great talks with fantastic speaker coaches.
What Time Does the Event Start?
Doors are at 1pm, the show starts at 2pm, and the event is over at 6pm.
Do You Need Help?
The event has been run by a pretty small core group for a while and while we love help we often don’t need it. The biggest thing you can do to help the event is tell your friends about it! If you want to be more involved check out the volunteer page!
