The first conference was a 1984 California event designed as a forum to share the best ideas in 'T'echnology, 'E'ntertainment and 'D'esign. It has since grown into a global movement.

The 'x' in TEDx signifies an independently organized event that aims to recreate the TED experience in which speakers give "the talk of their lives" on a local level.
