In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED created a program called TEDx. TEDx, a program of local, self-organized events, brings people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxGilbert, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxGilbert event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized. “This independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED.”
