We're Back!
After a three-year hiatus, we are back at spreading ideas worth sharing. Please joing us on Thursday, March 28 at 6:30 for our "Welcome Back" salon.
TEDx is a Nonprofit Devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading
Started as a California conference almost 30 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with many initiatives.
At a TED conference, the world's leading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes or less. On TED.com, talks from TED conferences are shared with the world for free as TED Talks videos. A new TED Talk is posted every weekday. Through the Open Translation Project, TED Talks are subtitled by volunteers worldwide in more than 90 languages. Through our distribution networks, TED Talks are shared on TV, radio, Netflix, and many websites.
The TEDx initiative grants free licenses to people worldwide to organize TED-style events in their communities with TED Talks and live speakers. More than 5,000 TEDx events have been held, and selected talks from these events are also turned into TED Talks videos.

TEDx Events are Organized Independently by Local Volunteers
TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that brings people together to share a TED-like experience in the spirit of ideas worth spreading. 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.)
TEDxGreenville was the First TEDx Event in South Carolina
TEDxGreenville began when a diverse, passionate group of TED enthusiasts came together to bring an educational and inspirational experience to Upstate residents. The first annual conference was launched to a sold-out crowd on March 5, 2010. The result was a brain-teasing, inspiration-filled, day-long event, unlike anything Greenville had ever experienced. Subsequent annual events have been just as popular and engaging. To get a feel for our past events, please browse TEDxTalks on YouTube, where all the TEDxGreenville talks and performances are archived. We have over 16 million views of our talks on YouTube.
2020 is the eleventh year for the TEDxGreenville annual conference. The program is comprised of speakers, performers, and TED Talk videos, to spark deep discussion and connection among attendees. There are typically 16 to 18 live presenters, most with connections to the Upstate, representing a vast range and breadth of experiences.
TEDxGreenville has evolved into a movement, igniting passions and building bridges while highlighting the people and organizations that make the Upstate such an incredible place to live.
