In the spirit of discovering and spreading ideas,
TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events
that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers
combine to spark deep discussion and connection.
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.)
TED is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated
to discovering, debating and spreading ideas
that spark conversation, deepen understanding
and drive meaningful change. (...) TED began in 1984
as a conference where Technology, Entertainment
and Design converged, but today it spans
a multitude of worldwide communities and initiatives
exploring everything from science and business
to education, arts and global issues. (...)
