FAQs: Building a TEDx Event Production Team

1. What’s the minimum size TEDx production team needed to produce a TEDx event?

Most successful events have a core team of 10–12 people, covering production, creative, tech, and logistics.

2. Can I produce a TEDx event without hiring external vendors?

You can, but areas like sound, lighting, and video should be handled by professionals to ensure quality and compliance.

3. How early should I start building my production team?

8–12 weeks in advance is ideal. That gives you time to plan, rehearse, and execute with confidence.

4. Do I need to follow TED’s guidelines exactly?

Yes — especially when it comes to video framing, branding, and submission requirements. The more closely you follow them, the better your chances of getting talks featured.

5. What does a full-service TEDx production partner actually do?

They manage everything from creative and content prep to technical execution and video editing — saving you time and delivering a more seamless event.
