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).

TEDxYouth@BRS is a by youth, for youth TEDx event entirely organized by the students at Beijing Royal School. The conference features a variety of TEDx talks, covers a wide range of topics and aims to inspire the leaders of tomorrow. Enjoy the mind blowing talks with surprises throughout the day!
