Thinkers. Doers. Idea-generators.
TEDxKanke is all about ideas worth spreading.
Our speakers are a passionate group of communicators, educators and change-makers who bring ideas to life, make them memorable, and motivate others to take action.

Thinkers. Doers. Idea-generators. These are the speakers who have delivered a talk featured on TEDxKanke Kanke.com. The talk was given at an official TEDxKanke Kanke event, these are the people who brought it to life.

- Design and engineering for social change
- Global empowerment of women and girls
- LGBTQI+ rights
- Research and progress in gender equality

Our stage is not for you if you’re a motivational or inspirational speaker, want to speak about a specific product, business or brand, or want to share your personal story.
We receive a large number of speaking enquiries, and each one needs to be reviewed and considered carefully according to the specific event we’re working on. As TEDxKanke Kanke is managed by a team of volunteers, it’s not possible to reply to all enquiries individually, but we’ll be sure to contact you if we want to find out more about your idea or take your proposal to the next step.
Please don’t feel disheartened if your proposal isn’t right for us – we can only feature a small selection and it doesn’t mean you don’t have a great idea! With your permission, we’ll keep your application to consider for the future.
If you’re thinking of sharing an idea with us, here’s some information that might help.
