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.

Allende and UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The annual
TED Conference takes place in Long Beach, California,
with simulcast in Palm Springs; TEDGlobal is held each
year in Oxford, UK. TED's media initiatives include
TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily, 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
TEDFellows program, helping world-changing innovators
from around the globe to become part of the TED
community and, with its help, amplify the impact of
