Here's what our TEDxQUT 2026 Speakers have said

"TEDx is an amazing avenue to be able to get an idea spread. The TEDxQUT was an amazing support to help refine and craft the message I wanted to share and made the entire journey feel possible, by breaking things down into manageable bite sized chunks." ~ Kari Sutton


"The TED experience was amazing. It felt very powerful standing on the stage and sharing stories from survivors of child sexual abuse. I could do it because I felt prepared due to the workshops." ~ Emma Rees, PhD


"The TEDx stage really unlocks a world of opportunity. You get the chance to tell the world a story, engage them, and maybe even teach them something they can use in their lives. The feeling of getting an email telling you that something resonated with them and helped them is priceless." ~ Krishan Rana

What we're looking for

Ensure you carefully read the Speaker Commitment and the About TEDxQUT section at the beginning of the application.

Have a new or unique idea that might change the way we think, or challenge what we take for granted?

We’re looking for ideas that invite us to see ourselves, each other, or the world around us a little differently. What helps us understand one another, be seen, and let’s us imagine where we’re going? What could help us start a conversation that matters, or give us hope?

Your idea might come from a personal experience, your work, study, or research. Wherever your idea begins, we’d love to hear where it could take us.


Apply to speak at TEDxQUT. Applications close 14 March 2027.
