What is TED?
TED is a nonprofit organization
With the sole mission to spread ideas, TED started in the 1980s as a conference in California but morphed into a global platform for novel ideas. Today, TED is known for sharing intellectual and academic ideas in bite-size chunks with an engaging presentation and accessible format.
What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading
TED created a program called TEDx in 2009 allowing local communities around the world to organize TED-like conferences and events. Still part of a global community, TEDx talks are shared with the world through TEDx’s YouTube channel which has more than 22 million subscribers.
What is TEDxPurdueU?
TEDxPurdueU is a student organization
