What is TED?
TED is a global foundation devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out in
1984 as a conference bringing together people from 3 worlds: Technology,
Entertainment, Design. Since then, its scope has become ever broader.
With its 3 annual conferences, video website TED.com, initiatives and
community projects, TED is now a platform and a global movement focused on
meaningful change through the power of ideas.
What is TEDx ?
TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's mission,
“Ideas Worth Spreading." The program is designed to give communities,
organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through
TED-like experiences at the local level.
At TEDx events, a screening of TEDTalks videos -- or a combination of live
presenters and TEDTalks videos -- sparks deep conversation and
connections. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently,
on a community-by-community basis.

How does it work?
•At the center of the TED organization is the TEDTalk --
•In 18 minutes or less, TEDx speakers share their Idea Worth Spreading.
It can be an idea to change the world, an idea to educate, or to inspire.
•These talks are then recorded, edited and uploaded to the TEDx website.
•There are no panels, breakout sessions or multiple tracks at TEDx events.
