About Youth Events

A license for a Youth Event allows you to organize one TEDx event not exceeding a single day in length. Youth Events may be large or small, but it must either be organized by youth or oriented toward youth. Its features must fall within the rules.

Youth Events may use the word "Kids" or "Youth" in their names (e.g., "TEDxKids@SMU").

Over the 12-month period that a license for a Youth Event remains active -- during which you may organize only one event -- you'll be the sole owner of the unique TEDx name you provide in your application. You'll be permitted to apply to renew this license after your event is complete, or you can allow it to expire (releasing the event name for other organizers to use).

A record of your event will remain visible on this website after the license's expiration, but you'll need to give up domain names and other properties associated with the unique name.

TEDxYouthDay is an annual series of TEDx events happening all around the world on or around November 20 -- Universal Children's Day. Dreamed up by a group of TEDx organizers, the events are designed to empower and inspire young people. Participate in TEDxYouthDay on November 20 each year by organizing an event for youth in your local community -- or by encouraging young people to organize an event of their own.
