TEDx events are independently organized local events that bring people together to share ideas in the spirit of TED's mission of spreading ideas. The TEDx program provides guidelines for organizing these events including obtaining a license, choosing a theme, finding speakers, promoting the event, livestreaming options, and reporting back to TED. Organizers are responsible for following TED's guidelines to ensure a quality experience for participants.
