What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx, where x = local, self-organised TED-like events
At a TEDx event, TEDTalks videos and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion that bring people together to share a TED-like experience
TEDx events are non-profit and organised by volunteers with a passion for their communities and “ideas worth spreading”
It’s a global phenomenon: by January 2012, 3190 TEDx events had been held in over 800 cities around the world.

What is TEDxPlainpalais?
Moved by a common passion for TED and its power of spreading ideas, a group of 9 like-minded individuals have decided to take the challenge to organize TEDx in Geneva.
Leveraging the fact that the official TEDx Geneva will not be held in 2013, TEDx Plainpalais aims to be the most important TEDx in town.
We aim of getting at least 2 of our talks included in the main TED.com platform (less than 2% of all TEDx talks are selected).
