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).

Jurgis DID & Fantuzzi

Jurgis DID teams up with hippie legend FANTUZZI to deliver an “unconventional” musical talk from Black Rock City (BurningMan) that explains how utopian communities are built on a framework of love and radical idealism. Immersion in alternative social realities is a transformative experience that resets individuals and returns them to the world as incarnations of the spaces’ philosophy, customs and standards. Love is what makes radical utopias like BurningMan and Rainbow gatherings resilient, it is also an interpersonal standard that can humanise the default realities we live in and bring about the kind of social change that a traditional top-down approach cannot.
