Use your closing to reemphasize your main points. The closing of your speech is your opportunity to call-back to your major points throughout the speech in order to reinforce them. The summary of your points should take, at most, two to three minutes.
A closing remark is the last sentence, paragraph or concluding part of your speech or presentation. … It leaves an impact on the audience and makes your speech/presentation eloquent.

SUMMARIZE YOUR MAIN POINTS
The closing of your speech is your opportunity to call-back to your major points throughout the speech in order to reinforce them. The summary of your points should take, at most, two to three minutes.
TED style talks are delivered without notes and the speaker wears a lapel or headset microphone and is never behind a lectern. TED style presentations have minimal or even no slides. … Every second counts, as the maximum time for a TED style talk is less than 18 minutes.
The answer to the question, “What happens after you deliver a TED or TEDx talk?” Nothing. … And this — NOTHING happening — isn’t reserved only for TED and TEDx talks.
TED Talks are Often Scripted and Memorized
In the process of practicing, most of the speech becomes memorized. In the moment of performance, the memorization doesn’t hinder the speakers authenticity. It simply allows them to deliver the speech they intended to deliver.
We ask that you keep talks within a time limit of 18 minutes to uphold TED’s celebrated format of concise and enlightening talks. This short talk model works, since it only demands the audience’s attention for a short period of time. In fact, some of our greatest TED Talks have been as short as 5 minutes long!
Include a strong call-to-action (CTA) Don’t end with a question and answer slide. End with a memorable quote. Say thank you to the audience.

Your first sentence should let the participants know you are thanking them. In 1 to 2 sentences, tell the audience why you have been asked to give a vote of thanks speech. Start your speech by showing gratitude to your honorable guest, host, and audience. Try to keep each thank-you brief, but honest and warm.
The conclusion paragraph should restate your thesis, summarize the key supporting ideas you discussed throughout the work, and offer your final impression on the central idea. This final summation should also contain the moral of your story or a revelation of a deeper truth.
The most common concluding statements include: “in conclusion”, “I leave you with”, “finally today”, and other similarly obvious endings. Just as it is important to preview a speech in the introduction, it is important to summarize the speech in the conclusion.

What Makes TED Talks So Effective? TED talks stand out from other forms of presentations as an effective medium to convey accurate easy-to-understand information to a target audience. The organizers of these events and talks aren’t in it for the money – they work passionately to spread ideas.
TED does not pay speakers. We do, of course, cover travel costs and provide excellent hotel accommodation — as well as a covetable pass to all five days of TED. Most speakers stay for the whole conference, soaking up the talks and connecting with other attendees.
TED-style talks are delivered without notes, from memory. THEY ARE NOT, as some people think, spontaneous; far from it! They are scripted and carefully rehearsed, often for months (or famously, in Susan Cain’s case, for a year). In contrast, most business presenters use notes to deliver their speeches.
Accuracy and transparency. At TED, we strive to present science in a way that is both compelling and 100% credible. Scientific claims by our speakers should be based on data that has survived scrutiny by experts in the field.
TED is dedicated to researching and sharing knowledge that matters through short talks and presentations. Our goal is to inform and educate global audiences in an accessible way.
They use props as reminders of things they need to say during a particular scene. If an actor forgets his line, a certain prop he associated with the scene will remind them of what they have to say. … When a certain line is accompanied by action, movement, the actor will be able to recall the line every time.
The most direct way to approach TED is through a nomination, either by someone else or yourself. When nominating yourself, TED requires a description of your “idea worth spreading” that your talk will focus on and links to videos of your previous speeches or presentations.
