Partnership Opportunities

Baton Rouge is full of brilliant ideas, and we view it as our responsibility to make sure they are heard and spread, but we can’t do that alone. We need dedicated partners to ensure these ideas are shared, and a true TED-like experience is created. TEDxBatonRouge partners are thought leaders and innovators committed to a greater Baton Rouge and championing positive growth for all Capital Region residents.

TEDxBatonRouge is a not-for-profit event. Your support goes directly to sustaining TEDx programming. If your organization shares the TEDx values and wants to partner with us in a big or small way, we encourage you to explore the opportunities below.

Interested in becoming a partner, reach out to our Partnerships Manager Michelle LeJeune at michelle@tedxbatonrouge.com.
