TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's mission, Ideas Worth Spreading. The program is designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis. Per the TEDx guidelines, TEDx events are non-profit events. All sponsorship funds or in-kind products raised or given through partnership go back into the production of the event. You can also become an Institutional Member of the Fulbright Association (Sign up by August 31, 2015 and get two free tickets to attend TEDxFulbright - click on the Fulbright Association option to see the benefits - ).
