TEDxZurich is a non-profit initiative and operates Zürich-based TEDx events under a license from TED. 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, TED Talks videos and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. Organised by the core team of more than 40 volunteers, the annual TEDxZurich Event gathers up to 600 participants and inspiring speakers from all over the world who get together for a day of wonder, inspiration and awe. TEDxZurich concentrates on topics related to the city of Zurich and its surroundings but also caters to bringing ideas, and knowledge and talks about broader topics.
