A Little History about TED
TED began in 1984 as a gathering place for innovators and leaders in the felds of
Technology, Entertainment and Design. 26 years later, TED has become a nexus for a
global community of individuals who believe in the power of Ideas Worth Spreading.
TED.com currently has a library of over 600 amazing talks of such high quality that the site
has become the platinum standard for innovation in digital storytelling.

3. TEDx is part of a revolution in global
education made possible by local organizers
wanting to engage their communities.
Every week, in multiple cities, people are coming together
to pursue ideas worth spreading.
230 TEDx Events have happened in 2009
984 TEDx Events have happened in 2010
42 Languages
96 Countries
It’s all about the passion for ideas...

4. What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a
program called TEDx - local, self-organized events that bring
people together to share a TED-like experience.
At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine
to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.
These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where
x=independently organized TED event. The TED Conference
provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but
individual TEDx events are self-organized.
