During the PMI Global conference in Philadelphia, there was a session that I joined:

"Steps to giving a TED Talk: PMI Global Conference 2020"

I joined the session for curiosity and because I'm a TEDx organizer and I was exited to meet one of the bit TED curators.

During the session, they announced that for PMI Global Conference 2020, they will be selecting 15 PMI Certifications holders to be a TED@PMI Speakers...however I didn't see anything announced yet.

Did I miss it? Have you ever thought about be a TED speakers?

Mayte,
Interesting that TED talk looks at PMI for subjects. Looking forward to more announcements.

I didn't TED helped in coaching speakers.
Yes, Yes Vincent. TED has a big team of volunteers that help on that.
As a TEDxSaltLakeCity organizer (hope that doesn't matter here to talk about my other passion), I know that also other TEDx events (included the ours) provide coaches.

I think I'll focus on submitting (and if selected) delivering a general session. Having done ProjectTalks which is a similar type event, albeit to a smaller audience, I find 20 or less minutes to be too short to share sufficient content and handle Q&A.

I submitted a proposal for EMEA 2020 which wasn't selected, but the topic seemed to resonate with the reviewers and the feedback I received on making it better should help me improve it so hopefully I have better luck with GC 2020.

Kiron,
I took a fast look to the ProjectTalks that you mentioned, the format is quite different about TED. I fully recommend you to be familiar with TED and TEDx event and their applications to ensure that you'll nailed it.
Will be so great to see you on the red dot. Let me know if you'll need some tips for your application.

That could mean two things:

1) Either they did not receive enough applications (More than 15)

OR

2) The applications received were not all qualified.

We shall wait and see.
