TEDxIowaStateUniversity applications are due Monday by either submitting a proposal or nominating someone who is qualified. 

TEDxIowaStateUniversity will bring together members of the community who excel in a specific field. The maximum length of a speech is 18 minutes, but most average approximately nine minutes. However, any powerful speech will be accepted under consideration, depending on the content. 

The first annual event will take place March 30 and will be focused on “bold innovations.” In order to apply, view the “TED commandments” and read what speakers need to know here.
