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).

Eugenio "Bo" Sanchez, Jr.

Author, Founder of the TrulyRichClub

How did you end up where you are? Being a missionary since I was 13 years old, it led me to serve in various ways. So 20+ years ago, aside from building small spiritual communities and building foundations for the poorest of the poor, I also serve the Filipinos who lack financial literacy through the TrulyRichClub.
