2. WHAT IS TED?
TED is an annual event where some of the
world's leading thinkers and doers are invited to
share what they are most passionate about.
"TED" stands for Technology, Entertainment,
Design ― Attendees have called it "the ultimate
brain spa" and "a four-day journey into the
future."

3. WHAT IS TEDX?
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.
(Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

5. TED Commandments
These 10 tips are given to all TED Conference speakers as they prepare their TEDTalks. They will
help your TEDx speakers craft talks that will have a profound impact on your audience.
1. Dream big. Strive to create the best talk you have ever given. Reveal something never seen
before. Do something the audience will remember forever. Share an idea that could change the
world.
2. Show us the real you. Share your passions, your dreams ... and also your fears. Be vulnerable.
Speak of failure as well as success.
3. Make the complex plain. Don't try to dazzle intellectually. Don't speak in abstractions. Explain!
Give examples. Tell stories. Be specific.
4. Connect with people's emotions. Make us laugh! Make us cry!
5. Don't flaunt your ego. Don't boast. It's the surest way to switch everyone off.
6. No selling from the stage! Unless we have specifically asked you to, do not talk about your
company or organization. And don't even think about pitching your products or services or asking
for funding from stage.
7. Feel free to comment on other speakers' talks, to praise or to criticize. Controversy energizes!
Enthusiastic endorsement is powerful!
8. Don't read your talk. Notes are fine. But if the choice is between reading or rambling, then read!
9. End your talk on time. Doing otherwise is to steal time from the people that follow you. We won't
allow it.
10.Rehearse your talk in front of a trusted friend ... for timing, for clarity, for impact.
