De TED et TEDx :
A propos de TED
Créée en 1984 par l’américain Richard Saul Wurman, TED (Technology-Entertainment-Design)est une organisation internationale à but non lucratif dont l’objectif est de contribuer à la diffusion des idées et de susciter la réflexion « Ideas worth spreading ». Ainsi, elle organise régulièrement des événements au cours desquels des intervenants montent sur scène pour partager leurs savoirs et leurs idées, en abordant des thématiques extrêmement variées, le tout de 3 à 18 minutes !
A propos de TEDx, x = événement organisé en toute indépendance
Le programme TEDx a été créé pour diffuser l’esprit TED à travers le monde et promouvoir le partage des idées et la passion de la connaissance. Le « X » signifie qu’il s’agit d’événements organisés en toute indépendance mais dans le respect des critères et du savoir-faire définis par TED.
Le format est atypique, les conférenciers se succèdent tour à tour, pour une durée maximum de 18 minutes par conférencier, pour convaincre, partager et capter l’attention des spectateurs au maximum.

About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a conference in California 36 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with many initiatives.
At a TED conference, the world’s leading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes or less. TED speakers have included Roger Ebert, Sheryl Sandberg, Bill Gates, Elizabeth Gilbert, Benoit Mandelbrot, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Brian Greene, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Three major TED events are held each year: The TED Conference takes place every spring in Vancouver, Canada, simultaneous with TEDActive, in Whistler, BC; and the TEDGlobal Conference takes place each summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.
On TED.com, talks from TED conferences are shared with the world for free as TED Talks videos. A new TED Talk is posted every weekday. Through the Open Translation Project, TED Talks are subtitled by volunteers worldwide into more than 90 languages. Through our distribution networks, TED Talks are shared on TV, radio, Netflix and many websites.
The TEDx initiative grants free licenses to people around the world to organize TED-style events in their communities with TED Talks and live speakers. More than 5,000 TEDx events have been held, and selected talks from these events are also turned into TED Talks videos.
The annual TED Prize grants $1 million to an exceptional individual with a wish to change the world. The TED Fellows program helps world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities. TED-Ed creates short video lessons by pairing master teachers with animators, for use in classroom instruction or independent learning.

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.)
