TEDx » Organizer Resources » Promoting your event » Your TED.com event profile

TEDx organizers automatically get an event page on TED.com. To access yours, sign in to your member account on TED.com, and click the "My TEDx Events" link at the top of the page. There, you'll see all of the active and inactive licenses, and upcoming and past events associated with your member account.

Filling out your event page is mandatory. You'll need to fill out as much information as you can immediately after your license has been approved. Events pages left blank for an extended period of time are subject to deletion, at TED's discretion. (The corresponding license will also be canceled at time of deletion.) We're strict about this rule because both the global TEDx community and the TED team rely on the data you enter to make decisions.

  • Regular updates: Update any key data at least once a week. It's crucial that you keep the general public, and TED, aware of what may have changed about your event. If your event page has not been updated with the most current information by your event date, your next event will not be approved.
  • Required fields: You might be missing certain information about your event at the point that your license is approved. However, as soon as the relevant information becomes available, it's critical that you update the information on each of these items:
    • Your event website
    • Your event date
    • Social media pages
    • Twitter tag
    • Venue location
    • Ticket price (your ticket price must be approvied by TED
    • Webcast URL (if you plan on providing a webcast)
  • Date changes: Our system will allow you to change the date of your event after your license has been approved. If you want to change your event's date, follow these steps:
    1. Go to the world map of TEDx events and review other TEDx events happening in your region/local area
    2. If your date change could affect another TEDx event -- i.e. if it is within the same 4-8 week period and close enough in proximity that your audiences might overlap -- reach out to the other TEDx organizer and discuss
    3. Once you have settled on a new date and confirmed it's acceptable to other organizers in your region, change it on your event page
    4. Tell us the new date
  • Webcasts: If you're planning on providing a webcast of your event, it's important to let the TEDx community know. (Other organizers may want to organize events that feature your event's webcast.) Fill in the "Webcast URL" field as soon as you know the URL. If you know you'll have a webcast but don't have the URL yet, enter your website's URL -- or a placeholder page on your website that contains information you do have about your webcast.
  • Links: Only add links to your TEDx event's websites. Do not upload personal links, links to corporate websites, etc.
  • After your event: After your event, remember to add highlights to your event page. (Adding highlights is a prerequisite for renewing your license.)
    • Add a Flickr tag
    • Add the URL of your YouTube playlist of videos
    • Make sure your speaker list is up to date
    • Upload a new photo from your event
