About TEDxWilmington
In the spirit of “ideas worth spreading,” TED has created TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events, including TEDx Wilmington, that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. The x = independently organized TED event. At TEDxWilmington, 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 are self-organized.
