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. There have been over 5,000 TEDx events to date. These 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. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently on a community-by-community basis with the purpose of inspiring innovation, thought leadership and visionary insight. There have been more than one billion views of TEDx Talks online.

TED is a global foundation devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading which brings together some of the world’s leading thinkers and doers to share what they are most passionate about. It started in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, and Design—three broad subject areas that are, collectively, shaping our future. Since then, its scope has become ever broader, showcasing ideas that matter in any discipline—science, arts, global issues, media, architecture, music and much more. Attendees have called it “the ultimate brain spa” and “a journey into the future.” The diverse audience—CEOs, scientists, philanthropists—is almost as extraordinary as the speakers, including Bill Clinton, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and more.
