Quick thinking and trust can solve inevitable challenges. When a power outage hit TEDxAthens early during their event, teamwork and creativity saved the day. Utilizing their years of collective knowledge, the organizers responded calmly to keep their audience informed and engaged. While some team members assessed technical issues with venue staff, others quickly explained the situation to minimize the attendees’ confusion. To entertain the audience as electricity was being restored, one of the musical acts gave an impromptu a cappella performance that was lit up by a sea of phones, turning a tech issue into a heartwarming moment. The team, the speakers and audience all trusted each other through this unexpected hitch and, once power returned, the program resumed in an ever-united theater.

Reach every corner of your community with intentional, word-of-mouth outreach. In New Zealand’s capital, TEDxWellington invested in people-powered marketing for its first event in five years. After re-building a team with both experienced and new members, the team set out on the town with a comprehensive outreach plan. Utilizing everything from social media to plenty of emails, team members contacted hundreds of organizations — government offices, schools, professional networks and more — to connect with potential attendees, volunteers and partners. One tangible result of the extensive efforts was a marketplace at the event, where 20 local vendors showcased their offerings with attendees through products and interactive experiences that included jewelry-making workshops and giveaways.
