About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. What started as a four-day conference in California 30 years ago, has now grown to support its mission with multiple initiatives.
About TEDx (x = independently organized event)
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program for 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. These local, self-organized events are branded with TEDx, where x = an independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
