We believe Stockholm is blessed with a strong creative and innovative mindset - the Stockholm mindset. However, we thought the city were lacking an interdisciplinary and open forum where people could meet and “ideas worth spreading” could evolve. TEDxStockholm was our way of creating such a forum and spreading this insight.
About 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.)
