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.)
