5 upcoming TEDx events

Our grand experiment to permit locally-organized TED events around the world under the TEDx name, is taking off like a rocket. Last week saw events in Moscow and Tokyo (see pics)... 

...and at least FIVE events are being held just in the coming week. Here they are:

Monday 5/25 TEDxLjubljanaWebsite and Facebook page.   

Wednesday 5/27 TEDxBucurestiWebsite and Facebook page

Thursday 5/28 TEDxSydney Website 

Thursday 5/28 TEDxParis Website and Facebook page.

Thursday 5/28 TEDxSF Website and Facebook page.

Dozens more are planned later in the year. Details of the program here

I'm stunned at the energy going into these events. (Check out the websites above!)  Most organizers appear to be taking the opportunity incredibly seriously and putting in a huge effort to pull off something special that fits the spirit of TED.  If you go to one of these, please let us know what the experience is like.  We're eager to learn what works and what doesn't.

Seeing TED passion spread around the world so rapidly is thrilling. A big thank you and good luck to all the organizers and attendees........

Chris! The spawning speaks to the brilliance of the TED brand -- Be the catalyst to emergent communities and use electronic technology to support the spreading of ideas worth sharing!

What a great way to cross the equator every which way to redefine education and think tank in the 21C.

Open minds know no borders.

Bravo!

After discovering #Ted, I had so many ideas about what to do in life, what helps, what is usefull, what to turn my self into. The most efficient one was revealed to me after checking the orchestra chief playing the piano and explaining the shiny eye effect.

This day I realised I was made to build my own TED, to connect all this person together, to bring a story teller and a listening public together to share a beautiful idea.

And now all of a sudden you reveal TED to the world.

Some magic things are happening.

Cheers!
It's something that needs to be spread far and wide. Awesome concept. I'm ready to volunteer for it. I'm in Kerala, India.

TEDIndia is happening this year at Mysore, India.
But, I dont think I can afford it this time. :(
