Open Call for Action Pitches

Ash Roughani delivers his action pitch at TEDxSacramento's 2012 City2.0

Do YOU or someone you know have an idea worth spreading that can make our region's urban centers even better? We want that BIG IDEA for our TEDxCity2.0 event

How to Submit Your Idea

 Simply record a 2-3 minute video of yourself sharing that idea and then submit the link to that video via our action pitch application.

Submit your video by September 8, 2013, and you could be chosen to receive 2-3 minutes to present your idea before the TEDxSacramento audience of nearly 1,000 people on the evening of September 20th.

Be sure to complete the entire process to submit your video:

  1. Record your 2-3 minute idea and post to your own YouTube or other video account
  2. Submit our action pitch application by September 8 with your contact information and a link to the video

During the week of September 9, if your idea is chosen, we'll invite you to present your idea LIVE before our staff. From there, we'll decide who makes it to the Sacramento's TEDxCity2.0 stage. 

Our community will then choose one of the ideas to get behind for the next year. IT COULD BE YOURS!

About TEDxCity2.0
