TENacious! Enjoy six speakers and two performing artists in a single evening. In the spirit of Ideas Worth Spreading, TED created a program called TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but all TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized by an all-volunteer team.
