TEDx, x=samostojno organiziran dogodek
Obstajajo zamisli, ki jih je potrebno širiti in v tem duhu je nastal program TEDx – lokalni dogodki, ki jih organizirajo neodvisni posamezniki sami in udeležencem nudijo izkušnjo, podobno izvirni konferenci TED. Naša konferenca se imenuje TEDxLjubljana, kjer x označuje, da gre za neodvisno organiziran dogodek. Dogodki TEDxLjubljana združujejo izvirne video posnetke TEDTalks in govorce v živo ter spodbujajo poglobljene razprave in povezovanje v majhnih skupinah. Izvirna konferenca TED sicer zagotavlja smernice za program TEDx, vendar te dogodke, vključno z našim, organiziramo sami.
TED
TED je neprofitna organizacija, posvečena širjenju dobrih idej. Vse skupaj se je začelo pred 25 leti kot 4-dnevna konferenca v Kaliforniji. Od takrat dalje TED podpira ideje preko raznovrstnih aktivnosti. Vsakoletna TED konferenca gosti vodilne svetovne mislece in akterje, ki posredujejo svoje ideje v obliki 18-minutnih govorov. Ti govori so kasneje brezplačno dostopni na strani TED.com. Med vabljenimi govorniki so bili Bill Gates, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende in bivši britanski premier Gordon Brown. Konferenca je organizirana v Long Beachu, v Kaliforniji, z vzporednim dogodkom v Palm Springsu (živi prenos); TEDGlobal je vsako leto organiziran v Oxfordu, v Veliki Britaniji; TED-ovi medijski projekti vključujejo TED.com, kjer je dnevno objavljen novi govor s konference in “Open Translation Project” (projekt odprtega prevajanja), ki poskrbi za podnapise in interativne transkripcije, kot tudi možnost prostovoljcem po vsem svetu, da prevajajo govore; TED izdaja letno TED priznanje, kjer izjemni posamezniki z željo po spremembi v svetu, dobijo možnost, da to spremembo uresničijo; TEDx, ki ponuja posameznikom ali skupinam možnost, da gostijo lokalne, samoorganizirane dogodke po svetu in TEDFellows program, ki pomaga inovatorjem po vsem svetu, da postanejo del TED skupnosti in z njeno pomočjo povečajo vpliv njihovih projektov in aktivnosti.

About TEDx, x=independently organised 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.)
