TEDx, TEDWomen and TED

TEDx

x = independently organized event

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, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. 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. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

TEDWomen

TEDWomen is a conference about the power of women and girls to be creators and change-makers. The program of speakers, workshops, events — and daring discussions — has sparked some of TED’s most iconic moments yet.

TEDWomen brings together a global community of women and men interested in exploring how change begins: with innovative thinkers who catalyze ideas toward action. Over the past few years, TEDWomen and TEDxWomen have launched some powerful ideas into the world.

TED

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 30 years ago, TED has grown to support its mission with multiple initiatives. The two annual TED Conferences invite the world’s leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes or less. Many of these talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Sal Khan and Daniel Kahneman.

The annual TED Conference takes place each spring in Vancouver, British Columbia. TED’s media initiatives include TED.com, where new TED Talks are posted daily; TED Translators, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as translations from volunteers worldwide; the educational initiative TED-Ed. TED has established The Audacious Project that takes a collaborative approach to funding ideas with the potential to create change at thrilling scale; TEDx, which supports individuals or groups in hosting local, self- organized TED-style events around the world, and the TED Fellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.

TEDx

x = 本地獨立組織的項目

TEDx 項目,秉持著「傳播有價值的思想」的理念,授權世界各國的人組織類似 TED 形式的活動,並邀請當地社區的演講者分享創新想法。TEDx活動結合國際TEDTalks視頻和現場演講,以小組形式引發深入的討論和聯繫。這些本地自發項目都被標記為TEDx,其中x 代表獨立組織的TED活動。 TED大會為TEDx計劃提供了指導和方針,但TEDx活動均由獨立團體(根據大會規則)舉辦,並非由TED組織。

TEDWomen

TEDWomen是一個為期三天的研討會議,致力探討如何讓女生和婦女成為今天的行動家和變革者。突破性的演講、各項小型活動及大膽的討論都寫下了多個TED歷史中最具代表性的時刻。

TEDWomen致力建立一個全球社區,把有意改變世界及推動變革的創新思想家聯繫起來,並鼓勵她們實踐計畫。在過去的幾年裡,TEDWomen和TEDxWomen已經傳播了多個強而有力的創新議題,一步步顛覆世界。

TED

TED 是一個致力於“傳播有價值的想法”的非牟利組織,第一場TED 大會於1984年在美國加州舉辦。TED 大會的特色是讓全世界各行各業的思想家和行動家獲得18分鐘去宣揚突破性的議題。大會更把最優秀的演講放到網站TED.com供全世界免費觀看。過去的講者包括比爾蓋茨、阿爾戈爾、珍妮·古道爾等多位知名人士。

TED的其他項目包括專為學生和教育者而設的TED-Ed 平台、讓義工即時傳譯演講的Open Translation Project和討論講者議題的TEDBooks。此外, TED 每年都會甄選擁有卓越想法去改變世界的人士授予TED大獎,總值100萬美元獎金以作鼓勵。而TED 夥伴計劃幫助全球致力於改變世界的創新者成爲TED 社區的成員,協助提升項目和活動的成效。
