Make your best pitch for a TEDxFargo talk at open mic events

What is a TEDxFargo Open Mic?

TEDxFargo hosts Open Mic events where individuals are given the opportunity to pitch their best ideas or showcase their talents for a chance to take the stage at TEDxFargo 2020. Speaker curation team members will be onsite to listen and may select one or more ideas for further exploration.

We’re always looking for thought leaders, innovators and risk takers to share their ideas and talents with our community and beyond. If you are interested in taking the stage at TEDxFargo as a speaker or performer, we’d love to hear from you. Look below for guidelines and details on how to be considered to give a talk or be a performer at TEDxFargo.
