TEDxShanghai will be brought to life with the help of a select group of companies committed to supporting the power of ideas.

Chinameme will be hosting the first TEDxShanghai event in Shanghai, China on Monday, June 15, 2009. TED is an annual event that brings together the world’s leading thinkers and doers to share ideas that that matter in any discipline.

“TED” stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design — three broad subject areas that are, collectively, shaping our future.  The talks at the conference “TEDTalks” are then made free at TED.com.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a new program called TEDx. 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. Our TEDx event is not organized by TED Conferences, but operated under a license from TED.

We’re excited to be a TEDx licensee and are currently reaching out to a select group of companies and organization that are committed to the power of ideas to support our TEDx event.  If you feel your company would add to the unique atmosphere then we are looking forward to discussing ways in which your involvement could help add to this incredible new experience for all those involved.

Just like TED, the TEDxShanghai experience will also place emphasis on quality over quantity. The focused attendee list of 100 will be composed of international and local Chinese decision-makers and influencers — CEOs, creative directors, studio executives, venture capitalists, inventors and entrepreneurs.

第一届TEDxShanghai聚会将于２００９年６月１５日（周一）登陆中国上海，这一届的聚会将由Chinameme主持。TED这一年度盛会，将全世界的思想家和行动家聚集在一起，分享任何领域的成功经验与创意实践。

“TED” 代表技术、环境与设计－这三大领域结合在一起，决定了我们的未来。“TEDTalks”会议上的演讲将会免费发布到TED.com。

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。在TEDx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。

这些当地自发组织的聚会被冠以TEDx，x表示独立组织的TED聚会。我们的TEDx聚会不是由TED会议组织的，而是由TED批准的。

我们很高兴能够获得TEDx的批准，并且已经筛选出一批认同我们理念的公司及机构来赞助我们。如果贵司希望能够为我们的聚会增加独特的视角，欢迎积极与我们接洽。
