TEDx Program
TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's mission, "ideas worth spreading." It supports independent organizers who want to create a TED-like event in their own community.
TEDx events unleash fresh ideas from local communities. Close to 50,000 talks have been given at 10,000 events since the program launched in 2009. In this playlist, explore the 10 most-watched TEDx talks posted to TED.com.
TEDxHabana was the very first TEDx event in Cuba, featuring a diverse lineup of thinkers, artists and innovators exploring everything from farming to cybernetics. Talks were given in both Spanish and English, with live translation headsets available to the audience.
For their fifth anniversary, TEDxAmsterdam focused on the past, the present and the future for their city. Twenty-six speakers and performers gathered at the city's Stadsschouwburg Theater for a full day of talks and conversation, which was broadcasted to viewing parties all over the city, including a virtual reality livestream to passersby.
TEDxSingSing took place in the Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining, New York, and brought together inmates and non-inmates alike to examine topics affecting the big picture of America's prison system.
TEDxRiodelaPlata attracted an audience of 10,000 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Speakers explored new technology, the mysteries of history and the challenges of today, all in the biggest indoor venue in the country.
What is TEDx?
The TEDx Program is designed to help communities, organizations and individuals to spark conversation and connection through local TED-like experiences.
At TEDx events, a screening of TED Talks videos — or a combination of live presenters and TED Talks videos — sparks deep conversation and connections at the local level. TEDx events are planned and coordinated independently, under a free license granted by TED. Learn about the TEDx event types
