TEDxOrangeCoast chose speakers whose Talks will spark audience engagement and incite participants to continue conversations even after the event.

The event is open to all attendees and speakers.
"We look for an eclectic mix of speakers," says TEDxOrangeCoast Executive Producer Mojdeh Eskandari. "The promise of TED is the revelation of someone or something the audience didn't know! So the fun is finding the obscure inventor, artist or entrepreneur and giving them this amazing platform."
