What is TEDx, and why is it such an incredibly powerful way to exchange ideas? And why would we want to organize a TEDx event?
Watch this video on how the TEDx program of events — including ours and others across Alberta — works to bring the power of the TED/TEDx process to our local communities, helping to highlight local ideas and talent. For more information on TEDx, visit the TEDx site.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
Our event is called TEDxCalgary, where x=independently organized TED event. At our 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.
