TEDx
TEDx, x=samostojno organiziran dogodek
V duhu idej, vrednih širjenja, je TEDx program lokalnih, samostojno organiziranih dogodkov, katerih namen je združevanje ljudi, da skupaj delijo izkušnjo sodelovanja na dogodku na TED način. Na TEDx dogodku se kombinira prikaz videoposnetkov predavanj s TED konferenc (ang. TEDTalks) in predavanja v živo z namenom spodbuditi razpravljanje o videnem in povezanost znotraj manjše skupine. Ti lokalni, samostojno organizirani dogodki se imenujejo TEDx, kjer x predstavlja samostojno organiziran TED dogodek. Konferenca TED daje splošna navodila za TEDx program, vendar so TEDx dogodki organizirani samostojno.
TED
TED je vsakoletna konferenca, na kateri se zberejo eni izmed največjih svetovnih mislecev in akterjev, ki so povabljeni k delitvi svojih idej, nad katerimi se navdušujejo, s poslušalci. TED je kratica za ang. Technology, Entertainment in Design (tehnologija, zabava, oblikovanje) – tri široka področja, ki skupaj oblikujejo našo prihodnost. Dogodek je vsako leto večji in predstavlja paleto idej, ki so pomemben del vsakega izmed teh področij. Udeležuje se ga raznovrstno poslušalstvo, od direktorjev, znanstvenikov, umetnikov do filantropov; med govorci pa najdemo priznana imena, kot so Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Frank Gehry, Paul Simon, sir Richard Branson, Philippe Starck in Bono.
Prvi TED se je odvijal v Montereyu v Kaliforniji leta 1984. Leta 2001 je od ustanovitelja Richard Saul Wurmana prišel pod okrilje Chris Anderson’s Sapling Foundation. Do danes je TED postal svetovno poznan dogodek s številnimi oblikami združevanja ljudi v duhu idej, vrednih širjenja. Tako obstajajo: mednarodna konferenca TEDGlobal; medijske oblike, kot so TED Talks in TED.com; in TED Prize. V skupini TED dogodkov pa najdemo tudi TEDx.
About TEDx, x=independently organised event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is 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 organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised.*

About TED
TED is an annual event where some of the world’s leading thinkers and doers are invited to share what they are most passionate about. “TED” stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design — three broad subject areas that are, collectively, shaping our future. And in fact, the event is broader still, showcasing ideas that matter in any discipline. Attendees have called it “the ultimate brain spa” and “a four-day journey into the future.” The diverse audience — CEOs, scientists, creatives, philanthropists — is almost as extraordinary as the speakers, who have included Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Frank Gehry, Paul Simon, Sir Richard Branson, Philippe Starck and Bono.
TED was first held in Monterey, California, in 1984. In 2001, Chris Anderson’s Sapling Foundation acquired TED from its founder, Richard Saul Wurman. In recent years, TED has expanded to include an international conference, TEDGlobal; media initiatives, including TED Talks and TED.com; and the TED Prize. TED2010, “What the world Needs Now,” will be held Feb 9-13, 2010, in Long Beach, California, with a simulcast event in Palm Springs, California. TEDGlobal 2009, “The Substance of Things Not Seen,” will be held July 21-24, 2009, in Oxford, UK and TEDIndia will be held in November 2009.
