Nominate a Speaker

Every year, TEDMED’s stage program features innovative thinkers from inside and outside the worlds of science, health, and medicine.  We’re looking for speakers who will open minds to new possibilities; change how we think about challenges in science, health, and medicine, and seed unique collaborations.

If you know someone who belongs on the TEDMED stage, or if you belong there yourself, we want to hear from you. Please fill out this nomination form, and tell us:

1)    Why this speaker’s vision will change how those in the health and medical communities approach their own work;
2)    How this idea will change and improve science, health, and medicine in significant and surprising ways;
3)    What experience and evidence your nominee brings to his or her topic; and
4)    How this approach or idea might be applied across varied fields and disciplines. 

Remember, it only takes one nomination to bring a speaker to our attention.  Selection for the TEDMED stage is determined by many factors – including our session themes and programmatic fit.  For more information on speaker selection, please see our FAQs.
