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.

discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized 
events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event.
