Transcript: 8 ways to create a succesful TEDx<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re part of this community that strongly believes in \u201cideas worth spreading\u201d and you give them this wonderful format of TEDx, no wonder these TEDx-organizers also want to share their ideas about what makes these local events so special. So, in the next couple of minutes I would like to present to you the 8 most important learnings that we as a TEDx-community have discovered this last year. <\/p>\n

1. Don’t do it on your own<\/strong>
\nFirst of all: Don\u2019t do it on your own. Form a team. You need people who are better than you on so many subjects. Don Levy said: \u201c\u2026 we \u2028are making this as much of a \u2028community effort as we can.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Try harder on the location<\/strong>
\nThis is a picture of the European Parliament. Who would have thought that you could organize a TEDx Brussels<\/a> over there? Or this one. A TEDx-event at Nasa. Space for Ideas. And it\u2019s not that bigger is automatically better.
\nAs Jason Johnson put it: Find a place that\u2019s worthy of inspiring and spreading ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. Start with the guestlist<\/strong>
\nOne of the first things that you run into is The Guestlist. With TEDxAmsterdam<\/a> we chose for an Invite Only format. This led to many very interesting people coming to us, instead of the other way around. Among them were journalists, some of the speakers and even our host of the day.
\nPatrick Newel said: \u201cWe decided that we would hand pick our community based on clear criteria that ensured quality and diversity.\u201d.<\/p>\n

4. Help your speakers<\/strong>
\nThe one tip that nearly all TEDx-organizers emphasize has to do with speakers.
\nAllthough most of them are professionals and have experience, you need to help them. Prep them, brief them, get them to rehearse. Maurice from TEDx Paris<\/a> said: \u201cRehearsing is the secret. We saw each speaker minimum 3 times.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. Emphasize your Local Character<\/strong>
\nIn Amsterdam we had the mayor to do the opening word. Welcoming the TED-community to Amsterdam: city of ideas. Or look at this great photo. The folks from TEDx Kibera<\/a>. It\u2019s encredibly powerful to use the TED brand to draw attention and then show off the local talent.<\/p>\n

6. Dare to ask<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s amazing what people will do if you just ask them. TEDx is a great podium for them to show their talent. This is a picture of our iPhone App. But people also made videos\u2019, did webdesigns, produced an awesome program book. <\/p>\n

7. Use the power of new media<\/strong>
\nHow will you connect with the outside during your event? Get a Twitter backchannel, stream your event live for free. This will cause exponential growth to the spreading of the ideas:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ended up having more than 100,000 people who tuned to our live stream from 45 countries around the world, and it generated close to 12 million social media impression on and around the event.\u201d
\nIf you don\u2019t have a clue what social media impression are, you can ask Ron Gutman. He is in the audience somewhere.<\/p>\n

And\u2026 most important. Have fun along the way! <\/strong>
\nOrganizing a TEDx will be an unforgettable experience where you will meet new, exciting people. You will be loved by your local community for doing something important: bringing the TED-experience to them. They may have seen the videos, but now they know the importance important it is to share ideas with remarkable people and talk to these same people about them.<\/p>\n

Thank you TED for this wonderful program, and thank YOU for visiting a TEDx in or around your city!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
