What is TEDxAarhus?
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 TEDxAarhus, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxAarhus event, live TEDx speakers and TEDTalks videos combine to spark deep discussion and connection in our local community of Aarhus. While TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program individual, TEDx event like ours, are self-organized.
