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).

Aaditya Ganesan

Student. Friend. Brother. Innovator. Do those words define Aaditya? Do they determine his fate? He has often questioned who he really is. He is an incoming freshman at New York University's Stern School of Business for Business and Political Economy. Throughout high school, he started a 501c3 (Educationist Tutoring), served as captain of the debate team and created a website expressing his love for comics. Furthermore, he wrote a book (Smiling with the Pain), describing his experience following a fatal motor accident. Following that traumatic experience, he knew he did not die for a reason and that his time is not up yet!
