A reply on Talk: Sheikha Al Mayassa: Globalizing the local, localizing the global

Feb 8 2012: You're right Mary, this talk took place live at TEDxDoha and was satellited in to the TEDWomen stage. Thus, the two audiences.

A comment on Conversation: How can I bring TED to my community?

Dec 8 2011: Awesome to hear that you are thinking of hosting a TEDx event at your school! To start, you should visit here to find out all of the information and guidelines for hosting a TEDx event.http://www.ted.com/pages/organize_tedx_event.

TEDx event names should be location-based -- in your case, you may name it after your school -- but each can have their own theme and focus. For example, your theme could be "Education Revolution", and you could have speakers from a variety of fields talk about that. (A reminder that TEDx events, like TED, should be multidisciplinary).

The format of a TEDx event is a combination of TEDTalks (like Sir Ken Robinson!) and local speakers. TEDx events are community-driven, and speakers at your event should be great undiscovered voices from your local community. The goal shouldn't necessarily be to get Ken Robinson, but to have the next Ken Robinson speak at your event.

If you have any more questions about TEDx, please do email us at tedx@ted.com.
