What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxGlasgow, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxGlasgow events, 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, including ours, are self-organized.

Speakers
In keeping with this year’s theme, The Common Wealth, all of our speakers have a wealth of knowledge in a specific area.
There are volunteers, professionals, fundraisers and advocates of social change, all of whom have demonstrated commitment, passion and drive which we know will inspire our audience.
From running community groups or sports clubs, to establishing technology businesses, overcoming obstacles or analysing data, you’ll be treated to a wide range of thought provoking and engaging talks from our speakers. In addition, we will be hosting two TEDx labs where smaller groups will have the opportunity to discuss issues affecting our common wealth.
