General information about  TED^xNorrköping.
The talks via TED, Technology-Entertainment-Design, have gained an enormous prestige, just growing from when the annual conferences started in its current form about twelve years ago with video recoded talks freely available on the Internet. One of the most popular speakers was Hans Rosling, who passed away 2017. Since 2009 TED, has offered the opportunity to apply for licenses for "independently organized local events" in the same spirit as the TED events. TED^xNorrköping has emerged from a group of people involved in the organization of The 13th International Conference on Thinking, ICOT-13, in Norrköping 2007. A conference with about 1300 participants from more than 30 countries. The aims now are very similar: To offer an arena where people across different sectors, disciplines, cultures, religions, ages, etc., can meet and share experience, views and ideas. To create a meeting-place for people who don't normally meet. The substantial footprints from the conference 2007 have encouraged us to initiate the TED^xNorrköping effort. TED and TED^x talks are recorded and uploaded to the TED's own YouTube channel. The recording of the Stanford professor Carol Dweck's TED^xNorrköping Talk, The Power of Yet, has now gained over 13 million visits on the Internet. Neither speakers nor organizers get any fee at all for their contributions and efforts. However, many of the most coveted speakers are highly interested in being given the opportunity to present their ideas and have their talks distributed for free via TED and Youtube. Since 2011, there have now been 24 TED^xNorrköping events of different types, see Events at: http://TEDxNorrkoping.com.
