TED
is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short,
powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where
Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all
topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100
languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in
communities around the world.
TEDx
is an initiative by TED which supports its mission ‘ideas worth spreading’. It
basically supports independent organizers who want to create TED like events in
their own city, area, university etc.
The
TEDx Program is designed to help communities, organizations and individuals to
spark conversation and connection through local TED-like experiences.
At TEDx events, a
screening of TED Talks videos — or a combination of live presenters and TED
Talks videos — sparks deep conversation and connections at the local level.
TEDx events are planned and coordinated independently, under a free license
granted by TED.
TED
is owned by a nonprofit, nonpartisan foundation. Their agenda is to make great
ideas accessible and spark conversation.
Supportively Yours,
TEDx@SXCA
