Imagine you're back stage. A crowd of 300 people anxiously awaiting your every word.


You’re nervous, but prepared. Your whole life has led to this moment. You’re ready to tell the world about something you care about deeply, in a way that only you can. You hear your name. The crowd cheers. It’s time. You step out from behind the curtain. You know everything is about to change.

Not many have the courage to take that step. Fewer have the ideas and authenticity to back it up. This helps explain why we feel something profound when we witness it — a person who embodies their passions, values, and knowledge taking the stage to share an idea they believe will improve lives.

That’s the magic of TED. That’s why I watch TEDTalks and volunteer to help organize TEDxTemecula events. Once a year, TEDxTemecula brings our region's brightest innovators, thinkers, and change makers to the stage for a one day conference.



One former TEDxTemecula speaker had this to say about the event’s importance to the region, “TEDxTemecula puts us on the map. It causes people to think bigger. It offers the opportunity and platform for people to share their passion and educate others.” 

This October at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater, a select few will have the rare opportunity to share their story with the TEDx audience and the world.


This is YOUR stage Temecula. Use it!

Do you or someone you know have an idea worth spreading? TEDxTemecula wants to know about it. Our experienced team can help prepare individuals for this once in a lifetime opportunity.


The deadline for applying to speak at this year’s TEDxTemecula conference is: June 30, 2015

Applying is simple:

  1. Prepare — Prepare a talk that's no longer than two minutes and includes the following: Your name, city of residence, vocation, employer along with a synopsis of the idea, even if not fully formed. What led you to the idea, or what qualifies you as credible in advancing this idea. We'll either “get it” or we'll follow up for more clarity.

  2. Record — Grab your smartphone or other video recording gadget and record yourself delivering this talk to us.  Make it conversational, rather than formal. We don't expect a performance, just a discussion, though enthusiasm helps Your idea will be judged, not your professional speaking ability

  3. Post — Post the talk on YouTube, or Vimeo, or you favorite video hosting site and share the video with info@tedxtemecula.com

Jurassic World is stomping all over Box Office records.

So, you guys really like Dinos, huh? Here are 7 Dinorific TEDTalks. What were dinosaurs like, why did they disappear, and what can we learn from them?

https://www.ted.com/playlists/68/dinos

  • Building a dinosaur from a chicken by Jack Horner
    Renowned paleontologist Jack Horner has spent his career trying to reconstruct a dinosaur. He's found fossils with extraordinarily well-preserved blood vessels and soft tissues, but never intact DNA. So, in a new approach, he's taking living descendants of the dinosaur (chickens) and genetically engineering them to reactivate ancestral traits — including teeth, tails, and even hands — to make a "Chickenosaurus".

  • Digging up dinosaurs by Paul Sereno
    Strange landscapes, scorching heat and (sometimes) mad crocodiles await scientists seeking clues to evolution's genius. Paleontologist Paul Sereno talks about his surprising encounters with prehistory — and a new way to help students join the adventure.

  • A theory of Earth's mass extinctions by Peter Ward
    Asteroid strikes get all the coverage, but "Medea Hypothesis" author Peter Ward argues that most of Earth's mass extinctions were caused by lowly bacteria. The culprit, a poison called hydrogen sulfide, may have an interesting application in medicine.

  • Where are the baby dinosaurs? by Jack Horner
    In a spellbinding talk, paleontologist Jack Horner tells the story of how iconoclastic thinking revealed a shocking secret about some of our most beloved dinosaurs.

  • The history of our world in 18 minutes by David Christian
    Backed by stunning illustrations, David Christian narrates a complete history of the universe, from the Big Bang to the Internet, in a riveting 18 minutes. This is "Big History": an enlightening, wide-angle look at complexity, life and humanity, set against our slim share of the cosmic timeline.

  • How to defend Earth from asteroids by Phil Plait
    What's six miles wide and can end civilization in an instant? An asteroid — and there are lots of them out there. With humor and great visuals, Phil Plait enthralls the TEDxBoulder audience with all the ways asteroids can kill, and what we must do to avoid them. (Filmed at TEDxBoulder.)

  • Playtime with Pleo, your robotic dinosaur friend by Caleb Chung
    Pleo the robot dinosaur acts like a living pet — exploring, cuddling, playing, reacting and learning. Inventor Caleb Chung talks about Pleo and his wild toy career at EG07, on the week that Pleo shipped to stores for the first time.
