TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, something the Mindsparkz team really believe in. They started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: TED =Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader and their following has grown massively.
Some of the ODM team headed along to a TEDx event in Hong Kong (x – symbolises independent) recently and were very impressed by the energy of the crowd and the speakers. Â We highly recommend you look up your local TEDx and get involved in the ideation and brainstorming.
As a Promotional Products company we were very pleased to see customised gifts focused on promoting Sustainable Water Themes. Â These were given to all attendees at the event.
What you’ll find at every TEDx event:
The content and design of each TEDx event is unique and developed independently, but all TEDx events have several features in common.
- TED’s celebrated format: A suite of short, carefully prepared talks, demonstrations and performances (live, or just TEDTalks videos from TED.com) on a wide range of subjects to foster learning, inspiration and wonder — and to provoke conversations that matter
- TEDTalks videos: A minimum of two pre-recorded talks from the acclaimed TEDTalks video series (these talks are available free on TED.com)
- Bias-free programming: Lack of any commercial, religious or political agenda
