What is TED and TEDx? TEDXPlazaCibeles

TED...

... are annual events where some of the world’s leading thinkers and
doers are invited to share what they are most passionate about. The TED
conferences, in Long Beach/Palm Springs and Edinburgh, bring together
outstanding people who are challenged to give the talk of their lives in a
18-minutes format.

As a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, TED started
out in California (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from
three worlds: Technology, Entertainment and Design, areas that are,
collectively, shaping our future. Today, TED is best thought of as a global
community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek
a deeper understanding of the world.

TEDx...

... In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called
TEDx: 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.
