TEDxAmes

Founding Partner Circle

Build the first TEDxAmes with us.

TEDxAmes is launching its first event on November 6, 2026 in Ames, Iowa. Sponsors and partners make the room possible: the stage, speaker coaching, audience experience, accessibility, recording, and the long life of each talk online.

100

An intentionally focused audience of attendees, speakers, partners, and community leaders.

1st

The first TEDxAmes event - a founding moment for sponsors who want to help shape the platform.

Global

Recorded talks can reach far beyond the room once they are published online.

Why Partner

Partnering with TEDxAmes connects your organization to curiosity, civic imagination, education, innovation, and the global TEDx mission. This is a first-year event, so early partners are not just supporting a program - they are helping establish what TEDxAmes becomes.
