About Tedx

TED is a nonprofit organisation devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three areas: Technology, Entertainement and Design. Since then its scope has become far broader. The annual conferences in Long Beach and Oxford bring together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes). The TEDx Program is designed to help communities, organizations and individuals to spark conversation and connection through local TED-like experiences.
