Speak at TEDxNuremberg
Every talk on our stage starts the same way — with someone deciding their idea was worth sharing. Here’s exactly how it goes from there, and where things stand right now.
We’re curating.
Applications for TEDxNuremberg 2026 are closed. Our curation team is currently reviewing the fantastic ideas we received — thank you to everyone who applied. Selected speakers will be contacted directly, so there’s nothing more you need to do but wait.
Announced after Dec 5.
We’ll open the next round once TEDxNuremberg 2026 wraps on December 5 — and we’ll announce it first on our social channels, before anywhere else.
Follow along →From idea to red circle.
Five phases, from the day you hit send to the day you step into the spotlight. This is the same journey every TEDxNuremberg speaker goes through.
Send us your spark
Tell us your idea — however early, raw or unfinished it feels right now. We’re not looking for a polished talk yet, just a spark worth exploring together.
Every idea gets a real read
Our curation team reads every single application closely — looking for original thinking and a genuine point of view, not credentials or polish.
You meet the team
Chosen speakers are personally invited to meet the organizing team — the people who’ll be with you every step from here to the stage.
We shape it together
Weeks of one-on-one coaching with our speaker team turn your idea into a talk — tightening the story, sharpening the delivery, finding the moment that lands.
Your idea catches fire
You step onto the red circle in front of our community and deliver your TEDxTalk — live, recorded, and ready to travel far beyond the room.
Your idea might be next.
Applications for this round are closed, but the next call is coming. Follow us so you don’t miss it — or reach out if you have questions in the meantime.
