Applications may be submitted online at tedxtexasstateuniversity.submittable.com.

The theme of TEDxTexasStateUniversity is “Everyday Heroes,” so the event will feature ideas and speakers whose contributions to the community make it a better place for all.

Launched in 2009, TEDx is a program of locally organized events that bring the community together to share a TED-like experience. Some of the best talks from TEDx events have gone on to be featured on TED.com and garnered millions of views from audiences across the globe.
