TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment, and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TED events help share ideas in communities around the world.What do they look for in a speaker: structure, brevity, and purpose.Structure: This is the foundation of a good TED Talk. Make sure each speaker’s script has a clear introduction, middle, and end.Brevity: Your speaker should know how many minutes they have for their talk. Make sure their script is an appropriate length for their time slot, or else their content may seem cramped. Think: Is there more than one major idea here? If so, which is the best? Help your speaker hone in on the one major point they’re trying to make. Purpose: Every point within a talk should serve the purpose of proving the talk's main idea and its importance. Make sure these points will be understood by the audience, and there’s a clear explanation as to why they matter.You also want to make sure the talk is relevant to the audience. Does this talk make a connection with the guests? Is it relatable? Speakers should always keep the listener and what they might want or need to know in mind.
