TEDx began in 2009, when TED started granting liscenses to third-parties to organize independent TED-like events. These TEDx events can be themed in any manner, in which invited speakers can talk about differenent subjects that don't necessarily have to be about science and technology. TEDx events are prhobited from making profit , although individual admission fees or sponsorship can be collected to cover the running costs. Moreover, invited speakers are not paid and agree that TED has the right to edit and distribute their presentation under a Creative Commons liscense. In order to obtain a granting liscense from TED to host a TEDx event, one must submit an online applcation form at this website [http://www.ted.com/pages/organize_tedx_event http://www.ted.com/pages/organize_tedx_event]. TEDx events are extremely useful on Universities as wealth of knowledge can be shared. Thus, innovation knowledge can be discussed on campus through a popular TEDx event.
==Need and Goal== If one is interested to inspire innovation via a TEDx event at a University, one must assess the speakers involved in the event. It is important to understand what are the missing resources for innovation and invite speakers to elucidate those missing gaps. Overall, the goal out of the event can mostly be achieved from the speakers that can educate the audience on the topic of interest. Thus, it is important to invite the right speakers for the right type of TEDx event.
