About TEDx, x = independently organized event

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.)

TEDx란 '퍼뜨릴만한 가치가 있는 아이디어'라는 기치 하에 "TED스러운 경험 (TED-like experience)"을 함께 하고 싶은 사람들이 모여 TED로부터 라이센스를 받아 만든 자발적이고 독립적으로 조직된 프로그램 입니다.
