In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is call TEDx (place), where x=independently organized TED event. At our TEDx (place) event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will 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, including ours, are self-organized.
What all TEDx events have in common:
+
TED's format of short, carefully-prepared talks on a wide range of
subjects to foster learning, inspiration and wonder -- and to provoke
conversations that matter
+ Inclusion of at least two recorded TED talks
+ Lack of a commercial, religious or political agenda
+ Free admission (although a small contribution toward costs is permitted)
+ A short introductory video in which TED Curator Chris Anderson explains the TEDx program (see below)
