TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together  to share a TED-like experience. At our TEDxLakeComo event, TEDTalks  video and live speakers have been combined to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized  ( subject to certain rules and regulations ).
