TEDx Events Working with sponsors

TEDx event photos

The TEDx program was created in the spirit of "ideas worth spreading," and most TEDx events are free. However, TED understands that events can cost money.

To help cover costs for your TEDx event, you may seek out sponsorships. Sponsors -- especially sponsors who provide in-kind gifts such as monitors, projection equipment, food, printed materials, web hosting -- can help make your event affordable.

Select sponsors that align with TED's mission to improve the world through the power of great ideas.

You must submit any and all sponsors to TED for approval. There will be limitations in the amount you can accept for a TEDx sponsorship. Remember: TEDx events are non-commercial events; all funds raised need to go directly to underwriting the cost of the event itself.
