In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDX. TEDx is a local, self-organized event program that brings people together to share a TED-like experience.

Our event is called TEDxWilmette, where x = independently organized TED event.  At our TEDxWilmette 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 TED program, but individual TEDX events, including ours, are self-organized.
