So im organizing a City level TEDx which is generally a huge deal, and i need ideas for it.

1) Speakers :- I'm looking for awesome speakers who have -

  • Great speaking skills.
  • Great idea.
  • Achieved something.
  • Simply has something very interesting to talk about.

2) Partners :- We are look for partners to sponsor our event. Though this is generally local, we are open to outside sponsorships. If someone wants to sponsor a City level TEDx mail us at info@tedxnagpur.com

Partnering with a TEDx is way different than any other event. Those who know TED will know the tremendous amount of goodwill it generates.

3) Ideas :- If you have any ideas regarding how to do it, the stage, certain way of making the talk. Do let us know.



Facebook:- TEDxNagpur | Facebook

Twitter:- TEDx Nagpur (TEDxNagpur) on Twitter

Official email:- Info@TEDxNagpur.com

The website will also be up in a couple of days. :D
 
did you not have any ideas / themes and potential speakers in mind before organizing it ? and if you did what were those?
 
The event is in the planning stage. Its scheduled for 11.12.11 (11th december 2011)

Have a lot of speakers in mind, but we want to make sure we get only the best people.

There are unsung heroes who've done great work, and have a great story to tell, and a lot to teach from their experience. We want to discover these people, spread their ideas by giving them a platform and inspire others.

These maybe:-

1) Start-ups with great/innovative/inspiring ideas for problems.

2) Social entrepreneurs who have brought a huge change, using their ideas.

3) People with great ideas who are looking to implement them in the near future. [http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/sugata_mitra_the_child_driven_education.html]

4) People with great experience in a field, who can show the field in a different light, to a normal audience. [http://www.ted.com/talks/vilayanur_ramachandran_on_your_mind.html]

5) People who have ideas that can reinvent a field. [http://www.ted.com/talks/pranav_mistry_the_thrilling_potential_of_sixthsense_technology.html]

6) Great story tellers with something interesting to tell.

7) Or an artist whoc an present something interesting [http://www.ted.com/talks/mallika_sarabhai.html]

and more..

Any thing from -

Something substantial and can be presented well.
