Standards for Speaking at TEDxHonolulu
Although an independently organized event, we are gratefully burdened with the responsibility to feature quality speakers that meet the high-standards of a typical TED or TEDx and now TEDxHonolulu audience member.
Speakers will be held to a time limit and are not permitted to solicit or pitch their companies, affiliates, or products.
TEDxHonolulu will not pay speakers to attend this free event, however there will be opportunities for speakers and attendees alike to be inspired and connect on a level only evident at a TED-like event.
As a speaker at TEDxHonolulu, your presentation will be professionally reproduced and distributed amongst the greater TEDx community.
