About TEDx,
x = independently organized event
In the
spirit of “ideas worth spreading,” TED has created TEDx. TEDx is a
program of local, selforganized events that bring people together to share a
TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxAbuja, where x = independently
organized TED event. At TEDxAbuja, TEDTalks video and live speakers will
combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.The TED
Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual
TEDxevents, including ours, are self-organized.
About TED
TED is a
nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day
conference in California 27 years ago, TED has grown to support those
world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. At TED, the world's leading
thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes.
Talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included
Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Benoit Mandelbrot,
Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime
Minister Gordon Brown. Two major TED events are held each year: The TED
Conference takes place every spring in Long Beach, California (along with a
parallel conference, TEDActive, in Palm Springs), and TEDGlobal is held each
summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.
TED’s media
initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily; the new TED Conversations,
enabling broad conversations among TED fans; and the Open Translation Project,
which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for
any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide.
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 TED Fellows 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 and activities.
