TED | In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, 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 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.

Dive into our library of TEDx Talks — local speakers presenting to local audiences about everything from politics to pollination. We host all of their talks for the world to enjoy, explore, and use.
