What is TEDx
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxDurban, where x = independently organized TED event
At our TEDxDurban event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
TEDxDurban is a platform that empowers inspiring individuals to share their remarkable ideas with an engaged and open-minded audience. Our speakers are thoughtfully selected, supported, and equipped to deliver talks that elevate their work and spark meaningful conversations across the greater Durban community.
