We’re a few days away from nailing down the November TEDxPhoenix date, and are now turning our attention to approaching potential speakers for the event.

Our current super secret list of potential speakers was created with the help of local freelance journalist Rene Gutel, and ABLEconf founder Hans.

As always, we strive to get the community’s input whenever possible and finding speakers for TEDxPhoenix is no exception. With that said, we’ve created a TEDxPhoenix speakers page complete with a speaker nomination form.

The goal at TEDxPhoenix is to seek out extraordinary voices in the Arizona community who have a unique story to tell, or an unusual perspective and a dynamic way of conveying it. We’re looking for speakers who:

• Have something new to talk about
• Can present the work they’re known for in a new light
• Have a new perspective that the global community may not have access to

Ultimately, TEDxPhoenix is the Valley’s opportunity to help make a difference by unleashing new ideas and inspiring the community to help shape the future in Arizona and beyond—so if you know someone who embodies the TED spirit and would make a great speaker at TEDxPhoenix, then please head over to the speakers page and nominate them:

Sincerely,
The TEDxPhoenix Crew
