CANCELED TEDxNJC - Between the Lines
TEDxNJC is an opportunity for people to come together and become connected, engaged and enlightened. Do you have a big idea worth spreading? An idea can reveal itself in many ways. From a big idea to an unknown issue, bring your idea to the stage at TEDxNJC.
TEDxNJC is looking for talks on topics that are new, unique and groundbreaking. They're accepting submissions for speakers, performance art, slam poetry, and much more. The event will showcase speakers and performers sharing up to 18 minutes of themselves in order to align with TED’s major goal of spreading ideas. If you would like to present at this event, please email TEDxNJC@gmail.com for more information. Sunday, Mar. 1 is the submission deadline for all speakers and performers.

From TEDx: What is a great, well-formed idea?
It can actually be one of two things:
- Something that’s new and surprising; an idea or invention that your audience has never heard about.
- A great basic idea (that your audience has maybe already heard) with a compelling new argument behind it that challenges beliefs and perspectives.
In other words, an idea isn’t just a story or a list of facts. A good idea takes certain evidence or observations and draws a larger conclusion.Â
Type of talks
Get an idea of what TEDxNJC is looking for with these seven different types of talks.
The big idea
The talks that make one or two very strong points, and it’s important.
The tech demo
An onstage look at some clever new invention that the speaker was a part of creating.
The performance
Music, dance, magic, puppetry, or some other performance to captivate your audience.
The artist's statement
In these talks, artists showcase their art and explain the meaning and process behind what they create.
The "dazzle with wonder"
These talks are mainly about the amazement of science and discovery.
The small idea
These talks are not about one big, world-changing idea, but instead a very engaging take on an interesting topic.
The "issue" talk
These talks expose your audience to an issue that they may not otherwise know much about.
