Bozeman, MT— TEDxBozeman, Montana’s first and longest-running TEDx event, is now
accepting applications for speakers and performers for its 2017 event. “Elevate” has
been chosen as the theme for the sixth annual TEDxBozeman event which will be held
Saturday, April 8, 2017. TEDxBozeman believes the same as Henry David Thoreau when
he said “I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to
elevate his life by conscious endeavor.”
Interested individuals are encouraged to visit www.tedxbozeman.com to apply and
learn more about the event. Videos of prior speakers and performers are available on
the TEDxBozeman YouTube channel which highlights the diverse range of topics and
individuals featured in past years.
Anyone with a tie to Montana – past or present – is encouraged to apply. The selection
process is competitive and less than two dozen applicants are selected for this unique
platform every year. The TEDxBozeman team then coaches the speakers and performers
in the months leading up to the event, which culminates in a day of thoughtfully
articulated, passionately delivered presentations meant to inform, inspire, and
challenge audiences.
Speakers for TEDxBozeman 2017 will be announced early December at
tedxbozeman.com and this media outlet. Tickets for the upcoming event will go on sale
early next year.

About TEDx (x = independently organized event):
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events
that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks
video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small
group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently
organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx
program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and
regulations.)
