TEDxBessies Creek runs on people who believe that showing up matters. Whether you volunteer, partner, or nominate a speaker - you are part of what makes this possible.
Be the backbone of the event. Volunteers are the reason every speaker takes the stage smoothly, every attendee feels welcomed, and every idea lands the way it should.
We need people for registration and guest experience, stage and technical support, speaker coordination, social media and live coverage, and logistics and venue setup. Time commitment varies by role. Event-day availability on July 18 is required.
Apply to Volunteerarrow_forwardTEDxBessies Creek offers six tiers of partnership - from community-level investment to presenting sponsorship. Every tier provides meaningful visibility, mission alignment with the global TED brand, and a direct connection to one of Houston's most curated rooms of leaders and thinkers.
Partnerships range from $250 (Community Friend) to $10,000 (Presenting Partner). In-kind options are available.

A great TEDx speaker isn't necessarily the most famous person in the room. They're the person with the most honest, original idea and the courage to share it.
