About TEDxNYU
Since starting two years ago, TEDxNYU has grown from a small team of 7 dedicated mavericks to over 30 amazing graduate and undergraduate students across 8 teams who work to bring together the University community through 100% student organized TEDx events. Our mission is to: Unite NYU's global community in discussion around unique ideas; Inspire NYU students, faculty, and alumni to take action and make their big ideas into reality; and Share the amazing stories happening in every corner of the University.

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)
