About TEDx, x = independently organized event

Simeon Yates, Director of the Culture, Communication and Computing Research Institute at Sheffield Hallam University talks about why academia should engage more with innovation, technology and design and what we can learn from the past as we look to the future.

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)
