Did you know that the main TED
was created as an "anti-conference"
The founder of TED is Richard Saul Wurman, who hosted the first TED in California in 1984. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx which is entirely run by volunteers and designed for a smaller, local audience.

"It was all a very nurturing experience, especially for the people who shared their knowledge about certain topics. It can intrigue listeners to better provoke their rationale and exit the conference with confidence, knowing that they are better equipped to handle life's inadequacies that are bound to come along the way."
"The talks were inspirational and very stimulating. Overall, I would certainly recommend this TEDx event to others. I believe that anyone with a progressive mindset will benefit from this experience."
"The atmosphere, energy and people who work are very positive. The talk topics represent current events in the world and present them to Sarajevo's society. The catering was excellent! Such events deserve more attention as they represent something that's innovative and educational."
About TEDx
x = independently orginized event
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, 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. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to host local, self-organized events around the world; and the TEDFellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects.
