Welcome to TEDxChania, an inspirational powerhouse operating under a free license granted by TED since 2015. We've harnessed a community that dares to dream, question, and push the boundaries of comfort. As a vibrant hub of innovation, we are passionately sculpting a future bursting with optimism. Connect with our diverse tribe, amplify your ideas, and join us in crafting a symphony of impactful change! -- TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world. The TEDx program was designed to enable local groups to monitor and share an experience. The TEDx events are independently organized, under the strict criteria of TED. The authorization of hosting a local TEDx event is granted free from TED.
