Your Idea Could Be Next.
TEDxWestchase is building its first speaker lineup with care. The goal is a stage of clear, original, evidence-informed ideas that challenge friction, cross borders, and expand what feels possible.
Applications are now open. Tell us about your idea, why it matters, and how it connects to Boundless.
Apply to SpeakWhat disqualifies an application
No product pitches, no sales presentations, no unsupported claims, and nothing that needs a slide deck to make sense.
What to Expect on Stage
Every TEDxWestchase talk will be an original, researched, and rehearsed presentation - no panels, no traditional keynotes. Talks are 8-18 minutes, built around one idea worth spreading and shaped to illuminate the Boundless theme from a fresh angle.
