Behind the Red Dot

Behind every great event is someone who built it. Finally, the spotlight is on them, and they're taking you behind the scenes.

Behind the Red Dot sits down with the organisers, curators and speaker coaches behind world-class talks. Host Adam Burak asks what the audience never gets to ask: how speakers are found and chosen, how ideas are shaped, and what really happens in the months before someone steps onto the stage.

For TED and TEDx fans, aspiring speakers, and anyone who wants to give a talk people remember for years.
