TEDx

x = independently organised event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading,TEDxis a program of local,self-organised 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-organised events are branded TEDx,where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program,but individual TEDx events are self-organised. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

TEDWomen

TEDWomenis a three-day conference about the power of women and girls to be creators and change-makers. The program of speakers,workshops,events-- and daring discussions-- has sparked some of TED's most iconic moments yet.

TEDWomen brings together a global community of women and men interested in exploring how change begins: with innovative thinkers who catalyze ideas toward action. Over the past few years,TEDWomen and TEDxWomen have launched some powerful ideas into the world.

TED
