About
TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit
of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local,
self-organized events that bring people together to
share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks
video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion
and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized
events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized
TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance
for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are
self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
