The difference between TED and TEDx

While we appreciate any coverage, we kindly ask that all journalists and/or bloggers be respectful of the difference between the TED and TEDx brands.  The 'x' in 'TEDx' stands for "independently organized events." Any headline or text which implies "TED" is coming to CapeTown is misleading.  For more information on TEDx, visit http://www.ted.com/tedx

All press releases, either accredited by TEDxCapeTown or when blogging in your private capacity should contain the following:

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
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. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
