Isla Haddow-Flood currently works for the Africa Centre in Cape Town, where she is the Project Manager for WikiAfrica (www.wikiafrica.org) and the marketing manager for Africa Centre's projects. Isla talks about how too much of the world' information abou Africa is written from an outside perspective. And she tells us how that can change. About TEDx, x = independently organized 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)
