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)

Likewise, the recipient may wish to signal that she is busy, allowing only urgent messages to come through or that she is more generally available when things are less hectic. For a design exercisewe asked our students to design a pager which would allow the user to communicate the urge... "
