This October, TEDx is coming to Northeast Florida’s beautiful and vibrant Riverside Avondale Historic District. TEDxRiversideAvondale is being created right now by a group of innovative people here in Jacksonville. 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.
