Anyone have advice on how one can give a tedx talk? Would really appreciate it... google is not giving me enough information. Emailed tedx they said they used their past alumni referrals and things like universities/impact hubs... thought it was more open to everyday people. Am in Los Angeles.

I think you have to get a lot of people to nominate you first which would then get their attention but might be really hard to achieve.
