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 called TEDxHonolulu, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxHonolulu events, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection among attendees and presenters. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
