WHAT IS TED?

TED is a non-profit organization devoted for spreading ideas, usually in the form of a short and powerful talk of 18 minutes or less. TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged. This global community of TED welcomes people from various walks of life and culture who seek to have a deeper understanding of the world.

In its annual event TED reaches out to the world's leading thinkers and doers, who then come together and share ideas on technology, entertainment, design, science, humanities, business, development. TED talks can really change the perspective and makes us understand a lot of things in a way we haven’t experienced before.

WHAT IS TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience and instils ideas, imagination and innovative thoughts among the audience. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized ted event.

At a TEDx event, viewers can expect TED-style talks where video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group setting. The TED Conference provides structure and general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized and subject to certain rules and regulations.
