About TEDxShanghai
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
Our event is called TEDxShanghai, where x=independently organized TED event. At our TEDxShanghai event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
The first event is scheduled for June 15, 2009 at M1NT Shanghai during the Shanghai International Film Festival. It is being organized by Chinameme under official license by TED.
TEDxShanghai will be brought to life with the help of a select group of companies committed to supporting the power of ideas. If your company is interested in sponsoring, please contact us.
本着好主意齐分享的理念，TED创建了TEDx。TEDx是一种本地的，自发组织的聚会，这一聚会将人们聚焦在一起分享类TED的体验。
我们的聚会叫做TEDxShanghai，x表示独立组织的TED聚会。在我们的TEDxShanghai聚会上， TEDTalks视频及现场演讲人将紧密结合，引发小组的深入讨论和互动。TED会议为TEDx提供大致的方向与指导，但是包括我们的聚会在内的，独立 TEDx聚会是自发组织的。
第一场聚会将在上海国际电影节期间与２００９年６月１５登陆MINT上海。这次聚会是在TED官方批准下，由Chinameme组织的。
TEDxShanghai将由承诺支持我们理念的公司提供支持，并助其成功登陆。如果贵司希望成为我们的赞助商，请联系我们。
