About TEDx, x = independently organized event

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, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. 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.)

No matter how many times I hear that story, I always love it... Drew has been the catalyst for more than one lollipop moment for me.

[MrNMertens]

He gave the same story when I was at TEDxIBYork, later that evening, I made a point of finding him afterwards and we actually talked about life and philosophies for about two and a half hours. Drew is an incredibly fascinating and inspirational man, and I feel very fortunate to have been inspired by him.

That was surprisingly inspirational. I am not aware of any lollipop moments in my life yet, but now that I have been so vividly explained their effects I will do what I can to stay generous, stay helpful.

Wonderful. I lost my Uncle who was a priest a few months back. He was just like you. He could cause a room of strangers to feel togetherness & humanity - this is your gift & it is just wonderful that you are out there doing it, living it & spreading the possibilities. Lollipops rock! Thank you... x
