events that were within a six hour drive from Toronto so you really want to think
from Toronto so you really want to think
from Toronto so you really want to think about how far are you willing to travel
about how far are you willing to travel
about how far are you willing to travel because you could have a TEDx event
because you could have a TEDx event
because you could have a TEDx event happening in your backyard but it’s not
happening in your backyard but it’s not
happening in your backyard but it’s not happening for another year or you might
happening for another year or you might
happening for another year or you might get rejected so the farther you’re
get rejected so the farther you’re
get rejected so the farther you’re willing to travel the better your
willing to travel the better your
willing to travel the better your chances are in getting in
step number two is the timing you want
step number two is the timing you want to only look at the TEDx events are
to only look at the TEDx events are
to only look at the TEDx events are happening at least three months from
happening at least three months from

from now you can still apply but chances
from now you can still apply but chances are they’re already how their speakers
are they’re already how their speakers
are they’re already how their speakers are chosen so to help you narrow down
are chosen so to help you narrow down
are chosen so to help you narrow down your search you need to go back to the
your search you need to go back to the
your search you need to go back to the theme website and you could filter it by
theme website and you could filter it by
theme website and you could filter it by month and year step number three is the
month and year step number three is the
month and year step number three is the theme every single TEDx event will have
theme every single TEDx event will have
theme every single TEDx event will have their own theme so the TEDx event that I
their own theme so the TEDx event that I
their own theme so the TEDx event that I spoke at their theme was act local think

so to maximize your chances of getting
so to maximize your chances of getting in you need to make sure that your idea
in you need to make sure that your idea
in you need to make sure that your idea aligns up with their theme as closely as
aligns up with their theme as closely as
aligns up with their theme as closely as possible unfortunately there is no easy
possible unfortunately there is no easy
possible unfortunately there is no easy way of finding out their theme from the
way of finding out their theme from the
way of finding out their theme from the main website you would have to go on the
main website you would have to go on the
main website you would have to go on the individual website of each TEDx event so
individual website of each TEDx event so
