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, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. 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).

Bushra Choudhury

We often find ourselves feeling something that no one enjoys: sadness. Bushra strongly believes that it important to stay positive no matter the situation we may find ourselves in. This is particularly relevant in light of current circumstances. This talk outlines the importance of laughter and the role it plays in our lives. Though such a seemingly small action, laughter can truly transform and heal our hearts, minds and bodies.

Grace Salami

There's something we all have in common. Something we can't avoid and can't escape. Grace talks about problems. We all have them but there's something many of us tend to do: ignore them; especially the "minor" ones. Grace discusses why our seemingly small problems can have the biggest impact on our lives and what we can do about it. She also explores how we can benefit from the 'little things' in life.
