TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are called TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. TEDConference provides general guidelines for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
