Solving for X

What are TEDx events?

TEDx Events

Ideas change everything

TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Sal Khan and Daniel Kahneman.

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. TEDx isn't just an event; it's a spark.  It's where big ideas ignite, conversations deepen, and communities connect. Born from the spirit of TED, TEDx events, independently organized around the globe, bring together thinkers, doers, and dreamers to explore the world's most compelling challenges and opportunities.
