Talent search: Event dates
Half of the speakers at TED2013 will be selected through an ambitious experiment: The TED Worldwide Talent Search. As applications open for each city, we'll post links to apply below.
The TED Worldwide Talent Search will be held in the 14 cities listed below, on the dates provided. Each city will have a separate online application process. Applicants should apply to one event only, and are encouraged to include a short video of themselves. We will invite around 30 of the best applicants to give a presentation at each event. Presentation lengths will be 3-6 minutes, and the language will be English.
