What is a TEDx Talk?
A TEDx Talk is a short, powerful presentation delivered at official events organized under a license from TED, where people share ideas designed to inform, inspire, or challenge audiences.
These talks typically last under 18 minutes and cover a wide range of topics including science, business, education, and creativity.
Why under 18 minutes?
Why under 18 minutes?
TEDx talks follow the same time guideline as official TED talks to keep presentations under 18 minutes.
TED believes this is the optimal length for holding an audience’s attention while still allowing enough depth to fully explore an idea. The limit encourages speakers to be clear, focused, and impactful, which helps make the talks more engaging and easier for audiences to absorb and remember.
