Cos’è TEDx, x=eventi TED organizzati in modo indipendente

Nello spirito  di “ idee che meritano di essere diffuse “ TED ha lanciato un programma, chiamato TEDx,  di eventi locali, organizzati in modo indipendente, che si propongono di riunire persone per condividere una esperienza simile a quella che si vive con TED.  Il nostro evento si chiama TEDxLakeComo, dove x = evento TED organizzati in modo indipendente, presentazioni dal vivo e proiezioni di video tratti da TEDTalks  sono combinati allo scopo di favorire relazioni e discussioni all’interno dei partecipanti.  Le Conferenze di TED forniscono il modello generale per gli eventi  TEDx, ma i TEDx locali, incluso il nostro, sono realizzati in modo autonomo.

Cos’è TED

TED è una organizzazione no-profit che ha come obbiettivo quello di diffondere idee che hanno valore. Iniziato come una conferenza di quattro giorni in California 26 anni fa, TED è cresciuta nella sua “ mission “ attraverso molteplici iniziative. Nella Conferenza annuale di TED  i maggiori protagonisti  del “pensare” e del “fare” sono invitati a presentare le loro idee in presentazioni di massimo 18 minuti. I loro interventi sono messi a disposizione , gratuitamente, sul sito www.ted.com. Le Conferenze di TED   hanno visto in passato Bill Gates, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Elisabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nanda Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isalbel Allende e il Primo Ministro inglese Gordon Brown. La Conferenza annuale di TED si tiene a Long Beach in California; TED Global invece si tiene ogni anno a Edinburgo in Gran Bretagna.  Le iniziative di TED sui media includono www.ted.com dove vengono messi archiviati e messi a disposizione giornalmente TEDTalks,  le nuove TED Conversations che rendono possibile scambi di idee tra i fans di TED,  e il Progetto aperto di traduzione che provvede a sottotitolare i video e a inserire la trascrizione degli interventi così come l’opportunità dei diversi TED Talks di essere tradotti in diverse lingue da volontari di ogni parte del mondo . TED ha anche istituito un premio annuale ( TED Prize ) destinato a tre individui eccezionali che desiderano contribuire al cambiamento deil mondo a cui viene data la possibilità di realizzare il loro desiderio. TEDx inoltre offre a individui o a gruppi un modo di organizzare in modo autonomo eventi locali  e un TED Fellows Program che aiuti gli innovatori di ogni parte del mondo a diventare parte della comunità di TED e, con l’aiuto di quest’ultima, a ampliare gli impatti dei loro progetti e attività. per informazioni sulle nuove conferenze TED visita il sito www.ted.com/registration .

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
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.)
About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. At TED, the world’s leading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Benoit Mandelbrot, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Two major TED events are held each year: The TED Conference takes place every spring in Long Beach, California (along with a parallel conference, TEDActive, in Palm Springs), and TEDGlobal is held each summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.
TED’s media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily; the new TED Conversations, enabling broad conversations among TED fans; 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 host local, self-organized events around the world; and the TED Fellows 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.
