About TEDx, x=independently organize 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.*
