Complying with TEDx Guidelines

Organizing an official TEDx event under a university license comes with strict mandates: - **Maximum 100 Attendees** (for first-time licensees). - **Zero Commercial Selling from the Stage**: Speakers cannot promote their books or companies. - **High-Definition Video Recording**: Strict three-camera layout and lighting specifications for TED YouTube channel submission.

Because attendee count is strictly capped at 100, application screening on Spark allows committees to evaluate applicant motivations and issue curated invitation passes.
