About TED:

TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. The annual TED conference takes place each spring in Vancouver, British Columbia. .

What is TEDx?

TEDx is a grassroots initiative, created in the spirit of TED’s overall mission to research and discover “ideas worth spreading.” TEDx events include live speakers and recorded TED Talks, and are organized independently under a free license granted by TED. These local, self-organised events are branded as TEDx where x = independently organised TED event.
