Tedxthessaloniki

TEDxThessaloniki brings the TED experience to Thessaloniki, maintaining the non-profit nature and the innovative spirit of TED. The first event was held in 2010 and since then we have brought leading thinkers and practitioners to Greece, formed a community of thousands TEDx'ers, whose main trait is their passion for change, and contribute a series of interesting and inspiring stories to the TEDx project. TEDxThessaloniki is organized by a team of volunteers, along with an additional number of volunteers contributing on the day of the conference. As a team we share a common purpose to present ideas and stories that matter and offer to each and every TEDx'er the best TED like experience we can. About TEDx, x=independently organize 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. The first TEDxThessaloniki was held on May 9 2010.
