A quick primer on what TEDx is, how it connects to TED, and the people bringing it to Springfield.
In the spirit of discovering and spreading ideas, 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. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).
TED is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to discovering, debating, and spreading ideas that spark conversation, deepen understanding, and drive meaningful change. TED is devoted to curiosity, reason, wonder, and the pursuit of knowledge — without an agenda — and welcomes people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world and connection with others.
TED began in 1984 as a conference where technology, entertainment, and design converged, and today spans worldwide communities and initiatives covering science, business, education, the arts, and global issues. Beyond the talks curated from its annual conferences and published on TED.com, TED produces original podcasts, short video series, TED-Ed animated lessons, and TV programs translated into more than 100 languages, alongside thousands of independently run TEDx events each year.
