TEDx Speaker Calls by DR GPT™ · A DR GPT™ Labs membership
TEDx speaker calls are scattered across hundreds of small event websites, and most close quietly. By the time you hear about one, the deadline has passed. I find them, verify every link, and send you straight to each organizer's application page before it closes.
I am Harvey Castro, MD, an emergency physician and five-time TEDx speaker. I built this directory for my own applications first. Now I share it.

STEP 1
Pay securely with Stripe, then sign in with your email. No password to remember.
STEP 2
Filter by region and deadline, then save the calls that fit your idea.
STEP 3
Get reminders 7 and 2 days before each deadline, and shape your pitch with the Talk Builder.
Each call points to the organizer's own application page or form, or to the event page on ted.com. A daily check pulls dead links, closed forms and passed deadlines off the list.
Save any call and I email you 7 days and 2 days before it closes. Every Monday you get the calls closing in the next 21 days.
Sort by region and status: open now, closing soon, or opening later. Search by city or event name.
Tick I applied on any saved call. Reminders stop for that one and your list stays clean.
Sample only. The event below is made up to show the format. Members see real, verified calls.

SAMPLE REMINDER EMAIL
You saved this call. The speaker deadline is 15 December 2026.
My advice from five TEDx stages: send the one idea worth spreading in a single sentence first, then the story that proves it. Clarity wins.

A second reminder arrives 2 days before the deadline. Tick I applied and reminders stop.
Members also get the Talk Builder. Tell it what you want to talk about and the event's theme, and it returns a TEDx-style outline: your idea worth spreading in one sentence, title options, an opening hook, a four-beat structure, a close, and a ready-to-paste application pitch. Take it into your AI tool to write the script in your own voice.

From public organizer websites, organizer forms and ted.com. I check each source myself before a call goes live, and a script rechecks the links on a schedule. The directory covers the calls I find and verify; it is not a complete list of every TEDx event, and organizers can change or close a call at any time.
ted.com lists TEDx events, but most speaker applications live on each organizer's own website or form, often open for only a few weeks. I track those pages for you, recheck the links, and remind you before they close.
No one can promise that. Each TEDx team runs its own selection. I show you where to apply and when, so you can get your application in before the window closes.
