What is TED?
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. Its goal is to make great ideas accessible and spark conversation.
What is a TEDx Event?
Think of TEDx as hosting an awesome party, with great food, inspirational videos, brilliant speakers and mind-blowing conversation. By organizing a TEDx event, Dr. Izdihar Jamil, Ph.D. , our curator, has an opportunity to create a truly unique event that will unleash new ideas, inspire and inform.
A TEDx event is a local gathering where live TED-like talks and performances are shared with the community. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis. The content and design of each TEDx event is unique and developed independently, but all of them have features in common.
