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).

Ben Scott-Robinson

Ben Scott Robinson has spent 24 years enthusiastically bouncing along, designing useful or fun things for people to do with the latest technologies.

Most of his companies have failed. He has failed to overthrow inequality, cure cancer or bring world peace. He has completely failed to change the world. So far. Ben’s life has changed dramatically over the past few years – he is now Parent to three small, muddy robots and a farming genius.
