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).

Dino Trakakis

Dino Trakakis is the Managing Director of the Autism Recovery Network (ARN) in Singapore. He is of Greek descent and received his education in Canada. Trakakis moved to Hong Kong in the late 1990s, where he recognized a significant gap in autism therapy services in Asia. This observation led to the establishment of ARN, an organization committed to providing specialized therapy services for individuals with autism. Under his leadership, ARN has made notable strides in autism therapy. Trakakis's team of therapists has achieved remarkable success stories, including instances where their therapeutic interventions have led to significant improvements in individuals with autism. One such success story involves a child who, after undergoing therapy at ARN, recovered from his autism diagnosis and was accepted into Phillips Exeter Academy, a prestigious high school in the United States. His work involves not just overseeing the therapeutic services provided by ARN but also engaging in broader initiatives that impact the autism community. For instance, he has been featured in articles discussing the efforts of retail stores to create autism-friendly shopping experiences. The Autism Recovery Network, under Trakakis's direction, operates from its office in Singapore and continues to be a pivotal resource for families and individuals affected by autism in the region.
