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.)

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 25 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. The annual TED Conference invites the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes. Their talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

The annual TED Conference takes place in Long Beach, California, with simulcast in Palm Springs; TEDGlobal is held each year in Oxford, UK. TED's media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily, and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide. TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to organize local, independent TED-like events around the world; and the TEDFellows program, helping 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.

Our theme this year is “Superposition”

Superposition. What does that mean? Despite our own settled beliefs of who we are, we all play several roles at the same time, dierent for each person we interact with. To our partners we may be a genius, to our friends we are a good companion, and to our competitors we are an unbeatable fighter.

Our personality may take dierent shapes for dierent observers, and yet all are equally true at the same time. Just the same, any action or event may also have an infinite amount of consequences or results (all of them also equally probable at the same time).

Each of us is given so many choices and possibilities throughout life. The state of ”superposition” is the gift we have all received: to be in one place, in one person, yet have the ability to choose from endless possibilities and directions.

This superposition makes us limitless. Our lives, like ourselves, can take one of any multitude of paths and directions, and the choices we make define who we become. By harnessing this potential, we break down the power of limiting restrictions we put on ourselves.

We invite you to share your expertise about how we can begin to remove the limits placed upon us in life, be they from technology, economics, politics, science, or even ourselves. How would you help people broaden their view and see a clear vision of their own potential and the potential of the world that surrounds us?
