TEDxHilo Sponsor and Partner Opportunities

TEDxHilo is the event dedicated to ideas worth spreading. TEDxHilo events attract intellectually curious people who are ready to put ideas into immediate practice. Aligning your brand with TEDxHilo provides many opportunities during the event and throughout the year as we reinforce your brand before during and after the TEDxHilo event. We consider our sponsors, “partners” in spreading ideas across Hawaii.

We’re attracting sponsors interested in the arts, sustainability and entertainment. The ideal sponsor would like to help build our island’s intellectual capital while providing a connection between our attendees and our sponsor’s brand. This one minute video helps explain, “Why TEDx” while this 9 minute video helps clarify the role of partnerships within TEDx events like TEDxHilo.

Our theme this year is RE:Generation.

RE:Generation intends to inspire and promote ideas creating awareness, acceptance and application of solutions to HawaiÊ»i Island’s toughest challenges.
RE:Generation honors the past, while caring for the present and respecting our future together on Hawaiʻi Island.
