ABOUT TED

TED is a nonprofit
organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference
in California 25 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas
with multiple initiatives. The annual TED Conference invites the world’s leading
thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes. Their talks are made available,
free, at TED.com.

ABOUT TEDx

TEDx was created in the spirit of TED’s
mission, “ideas worth spreading.” The program is designed to give communities,
organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through
TED-like experiences at the local level. 
AT TEDx events, a screening of TEDTalks videos--or a combination of live
presenters and TEDTalks videos—sparks deep conversation and connections. TEDx
events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a
community-by-community basis.
