If you’ve ever wondered how you can give a TED Talk, you’re not alone. TED believes that ideas change everything — and that they can come from unexpected places. So, as part of our global Idea Search program, we issued an open call to anyone in the UK in search of the biggest, boldest and brightest ideas. Out of 500 applicants, 10 were selected to speak at a special in-person TED event in partnership with TEDxBrighton. In this film, you’ll meet all 10 speakers and follow the process of going from an idea in someone’s head to an actual TED Talk on the stage. We’re always looking for the next big idea — maybe yours could be next.

“My Big Idea” is a new series from TED that documents the process of imagining and then creating a TED Talk, featuring first-time speakers and ideas new to the TED stage. Watch all episodes here:

    I thought there were three general ways a Ted Talk happens. (1) Some pretentious out-of-touch rich person pays to go up on stage and sprout his disconnected philosophy upon his pretentious out-of-touch rich friends for polite applause. (2) Some pretentious out-of-touch rich person finds an ‘inspiration story’ somewhere then drags/coerces/pays a person who actually works for a living to speak to provide a sense of ‘inclusion’ to a bunch of pretentious out-of-touch rich people so that they ‘feel’ that they are involved. And of course there is the third (3) and new talk-show format where several pretentious out-of-touch rich people complain about everything they find wrong in the world.

    I wouldn’t think they’d be hard to set up.

    I think this is wonderful. I just gave my first speech at the 2025 FDA REMS conference of my 30 year health journey dealing with chronic & incurable diseases and 10 years of advocating for patients/doctors.
    I spent the last few months preparing my speech. It was scary but amazing to be able to discuss my life with medical professionals. I feel motivated, excited and hopeful after speaking.
    It would be a dream to speak on a TEDtalk.
    I think it’s a marvelous idea to learn the back stories of the TED speakers and what it’s like preparing for their big talk. It allows the audience to gain a 3D perspective of the speaker.
