About TEDx
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 TEDxManhattan "Changing the Way We Eat", where x =
independently organized TED event. At our TEDxManhattan event,
TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion
and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general
guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including
ours, are self-organized. (www.tedxmanhattan.org)
