What to Expect
What kind of speakers will there be?
- Each individual on the stage will be someone who has changed the world, in terms of Technology, Entrepreneurship, or Design.
- Every presentation will be a world debut, meaning that the content of the talk will be something nobody has ever seen before.
- Talks at TEDxFultonStreet are between 5 and 18 minutes, usually around 10. Plan to pay close attention, so you don’t miss anything!
Do you have keynotes or panels?
At all TED and TEDx events, everyone hears every presentation. There are no breakout sessions, separate tracks, keynotes, or panels.
Every one of our speakers will be delivering a presentation which has never been seen before in the world. They are all individuals who would be worthy of a “keynote” position at many other events; therefore we do not afford any special status to one speaker over another.

Mutual Respect
Please no phones, tablets, or laptops in the main auditorium while presenters are on stage! The light and sound affects everyone around you…
We appreciate that you will be entrusting us with your valuable time by spending the day at TEDxFultonStreet, and so we return that trust by bringing you presentations which deserve the complete stage and the undivided attention of our audience.
In return, we only ask that you use the day as an opportunity to learn, grow, and discuss new ideas – not to sell your personal products or services.
In addition, we ask all audience members to pay attention, rather than distracting others with with laptops or mobile devices. (A separate area will be set aside for anyone who wishes to write, blog, tweet, or otherwise engage during the event.)
What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxFultonStreet, where x = independently organized TED event.
At our TEDxFultonStreet event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
