What is
?
In the spirit of discovering and spreading ideas, 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 TEDxDYPDPU, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxDYPDPU event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.
