In the spirit of discovering and spreading ideas, TEDxCapeMay is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDxCapeMay event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. 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.
