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.

We are excited to be a part of Asheville’s very own independant TED event, TEDxAsheville.  Tonight at 7pm, people will come from all over the region to listen to some of Asheville’s most influentional speakers and performers.  Tonight’s Line-up includes:
