About TEDxMIA

Miami is increasingly a hub of diverse creativity, innovative thinking and progressive thought leadership – a fact that is often overlooked. TEDxMIA is an effort to drive and showcase the cultural and intellectual vitality continuing to blossom in the city. For more than two decades, TED has presented acclaimed speakers to promote “Ideas Worth Spreading”. Under license from TED, TEDxMIA is a non-profit, independent organizer of events connecting the community and spreading ideas in and around South Florida.

TEDxMIA’s mission is to connect and inspire communities in Miami by sharing ideas worth spreading.

About TEDx, x = independently organized 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. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

The annual TED Conference takes place in Long Beach, California, with simulcast in Palm Springs; TEDGlobal is held each year in Oxford, UK. TED’s media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily, and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide. TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to host local, self-organized events around the world, and the TEDFellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.
