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 TEDxYouth@ColumbiaHeights, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxYouth@ColumbiaHeights event, 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.

Sponsors/Partners

We're committed to extending the TED experience to youth in Washington, DC. The realization of the event is impossible without the support of generous sponsors and partners; we'd like to thank all current and future sponsors for their kind support.
