TEDx is an independently organized 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. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. TED (Technology, Education and Design) is a nonprofit organization devoted to "ideas worth spreading," usually in the form of short, powerful talks delivered by today's leading thinkers and doers.
