ABOUT TEDXBERLIN

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is call TEDxBerlin, where x stands for “independently organized TED event”. At our TEDxBerlin, TEDTalks videos and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. T…he TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are independently organized.
