TED is a global organisation, and the speakers are experts or top talent, from all over the world.

TEDx is locally organised TED-like presentations, such as we get with TEDx Christchurch, but once again the people chosen to speak, have unusual knowledge, expertise or talent.

This is the TED About Homepage, which explains it's organizational structure.

We hope it will also be a way to meet new and interesting friends.

This is not a technology festival. The use of technology should be unobtrusive. The technology involved is very simple, just a web browser and the ability to navigate with a mouse. Everyone can do it.

The club will make a roster of presenters, we think two for each meeting. You will be asked to choose a TED talk that you like. When presenting your speaker, you will tell us who the presenter is, and why this talk is interesting, or funny, or important. At the end of the talk we'll have a short discussion.
