In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized 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-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

TEDxHouston launched its first event in 2010 to shine a spotlight on some of Houston’s most interesting and inspiring “Ideas Worth Spreading,” with talks from stellar speakers including Brené Brown discussing vulnerability, Dan Phillips sharing how he builds creative and sustainable homes, and David Eagleman inviting people to become a “Possibilian.” Since then, it has hosted 30 events featuring over 120 Houston innovators, creatives, scientists, artists, and performers on stage, and bringing thousands of attendees and volunteers from the Greater Houston area together for a day of enlightening experiences and deeper connection.

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, often in the form of short talks delivered by leading thinkers and doers. Many of these talks are given at TED conferences, intimate TED Salons and thousands of independently organized TEDx events around the world. Videos of these talks are made available, free, on TED.com and other platforms. Audio versions of TED Talks are published to TED Talks Daily, available on all podcast platforms.
