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.)

Dan is amazing and speaks the truth. We all need to listen.

[Roger DiBrito]

So many cities, so little time, let's each of us do one good thing today. Thank you Dan for years of inspiration and leadership. We miss you in Montana.

Dan is made of natural and creative energies and knows how to bring the very best out in people, places and life. He is masterful at guided discovery using adults with baggage--that is all of us-- as the main ingredient in his work. Good to see him on TED we miss him in Florida.

[Rachel Maxwell]

Yes! We can make beautiful cities that are healthier and happier.
