About TEDx
TEDx is a global initiative designed to help communities, organizations, and individuals spark conversation and connection through locally organized events. These gatherings are modeled after the TED experience, blending live speakers and recorded TED Talks to explore ideas that matter. While each TEDx event is independently organized, it operates under guidelines provided by TED to ensure a consistent standard of quality and impact.
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives, and ultimately, the world. What began as a four-day conference in California has grown into a global movement. TED brings together leading thinkers, innovators, and changemakers from every discipline to deliver impactful talks—each under 18 minutes—that are made freely available to the public.
The TED platform has featured a diverse range of speakers, including scientists, artists, entrepreneurs, humanitarians, and heads of state. TED also supports a variety of initiatives designed to amplify the reach and influence of ideas, such as the TED Prize, the TED Fellows Program, and the TEDx program. Through these efforts, TED empowers communities across the world to foster dialogue, share knowledge, and ignite meaningful change.
