WHAT IS TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx.

TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.  Our event is call TEDxNWC, where x=independently organized TED event.  At our TEDxNWC event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.

The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.  This independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED.  This event is not being organized by the TED conferences — this is an independently organized TED event.
