What is TEDxCalgary?

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 TEDxCalgary, where x=independently organized TED event. At our events, TEDTalks video and live speakers combined 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.

If you'd like to learn more, visit our [ contact page ] to send us an e-mail.

This event is not being organized by the TED conferences — this is an independently organized TED event.

This independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED.
