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) <\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ggUHOqq4dhw&feature=youtu.be\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ggUHOqq4dhw&feature=youtu.be<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences.
