TEDxAuckland is an independent TEDx event. TEDx events can be organized by anyone who obtains a free license from TED, agreeing to follow certain principles.[3] TEDx events are non-profit, but may use an admission fee or commercial sponsorship to cover costs.[4] Similarly, speakers are not paid. They must also relinquish the copyrights to their materials, which TED may edit and distribute under a Creative Commons license.
Overview
The x in TEDx refers to independently organized TED conference events, an initiative that started in 2008 to bring TED-like gatherings to smaller communities — like Auckland.[5] These events — 1,500 of them scheduled all over the world so far in 2015 — spark conversation and connection with the spirit of "ideas worth spreading".[6] At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These self-organized events are branded TEDx and are subject to certain rules and regulations. Talks and music performances at TEDx events are licensed creative commons. This initiative is independently organized by a group of successful entrpreneurs, artists, philanthropists, and educators.
