Carol Cox, Speaker Coach for TEDxOrlando 2026
I’m thrilled to join the TEDxOrlando team as a Speaker Curator and Speaker Coach! Get ready for an incredible series of events in 2026!
Do you have an idea worth spreading? Applications to speak are open now and close on Monday, October 20, 2025 at 11:59 PM EST.
The Curation Process
Our speaker application open call is a truly democratic process. A team of 10 curators will carefully review every application and provide feedback along the way.
Our Speaker Coaches
If selected, you won’t be alone. You’ll work closely with our highly experienced speaker coaches, who will help shape your talk into the very best TEDx talk possible.
The Dream Team
Behind TEDxOrlando is a new Dream Team with deep expertise in events, production, marketing, partnerships, and public speaking. We even have two former TEDx speakers on our team, alongside organizers from other successful TEDx events.
Our Mission
TEDxOrlando exists to transform the way our city sees itself — and how the world sees Orlando.
Now it’s your turn. Share your story. Spark new ideas.
Be part of something bigger.
