About TEDxSF
The San Francisco TEDx community seeks to extend the TED experience at a regional level, highlighting exceptional people and creative works, connecting people across disciplines, creating conversations and driving action. Our 4,000+ members explore big questions with a broad spirit of inquiry. TEDxSF was the first global TEDx community. We held our first community gathering at Dolby Labs in 2009, and have held 5 more major events, each with world-class speakers and production quality. We have grown to more than 4,000 members and 60+ hands-on volunteers.
What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxSF, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxSF event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
