Presentation on TEDx Talks for the Women in Publishing Summit

How To Get on the TEDx Stage To Increase Your Visibility and Credibility

Maria Leonard Olsen

TED and TEDx Talks have become instant credibility indicators. Those who make it to one of these stages are recognized as having been vetted to speak and have developed expertise on a given topic. Authors can use this achievement to increase their visibility. While you cannot sell your book from the TED stage, your reach will grow exponentially.

This presentation will teach participants:
1. Why TED Talks are important for authors
2. How to craft an idea suitable for a TEDx Talk  
3. How to apply for and increase your chances of being selected to present a TEDx Talk
