TEDx is a grassroots initiative, created in the spirit of TED’s overall mission to discover “ideas worth spreading.” TEDx brings the spirit of TED to local communities around the globe through TEDx events. These events are organized by passionate people who seek to uncover new ideas and to share the latest research that sparks conversations in their communities. TEDx events are organized independently under a free license granted by TED.
TEDxBU is organized and hosted annually in April by the Howard Thurman Center and a team of volunteers. The selection committee picks 8 to 10 speakers from the BU and wider Boston community to speak. BU Productions records the event for submission to TED. Every year TEDxBU has a theme that relates to Howard Thurman’s life and philosophies.
