TEAM

To oversee all aspects of the event logistics. From organizing speaker events to managing everything reset-up and take-down of the event itself. Coordinate with the venue’s lighting, sound, and set-up crews, in addition to working with videographers about expectations and logistics. Working with our event volunteers to create a TEDx environment to make the event run smoothly. Experience in event organizing is a plus but not required.

Includes creating video content, any promotional posters, stickers, shirts, flyers, social media posts. The goal is to create the content to promote the event. They will work closely with the other teams to bring to life and make sure there is a cohesive branding vision. 

They will be responsible for a range of project budget development, management functions, and accounting responsibilities. The Finance team will work closely with the Center for Student Involvement (CSI) to identify on-campus funding sources, develop budgets with each director, and submit those budgets to CSI. They will carry out and record relevant financial transactions as well as coordinate the financial coding of these transactions with the TEDx Co-Leads and CSI. They will also be responsible for maintaining ledgers as well as budgeting/forecasting functions and audit related routines. It requires extreme attention to detail and an elaborate understanding of the infrastructure of the CUSG Bureaucracy. TEDxCU has a detailed timeline of everything that needs to happen, as well as specific guidelines that will greatly aid with the process so there is a specific structure associated with this team. (Small team up to 3 people)

The Speaker-Experience is in charge of all things related to selecting and coaching speakers. Responsible for reviewing speaker applications, selecting and interviewing finalists, and working with speakers throughout the process. Organize the speaker events, guide the speakers through the process of writing their speech, making sure they are on track, and providing general support.

The Outreach & Partnership Team focuses on two main things 1) Creating and implementing strategies for reaching audiences on the campus of CU Boulder and in the wider Denver/Boulder Metro areas. 2) Cultivating partnerships/sponsorships. The focus is on non-digital modes of engaging our community through things like CU residential hall campaigns, canvasing, and identifying interested community groups, and connecting with other organizations on campus to achieve audience engagement. This team will also raise cash and in-kind donations from corporate and community sponsors. Over all the goal is outreach with local businesses and the student population.
