TEDxNHH 2011 took place in Aulaen, NHH, on September 28th, 2011. This was already the second TEDx event at Norwegian School of Economics in Bergen, Norway. The topic of the conference this year is TEDxNHH “Embracing Others”. People are usually considered reluctant to welcome strangers and interact with one another. But we can do so and TEDx is a wonderful example of pooling striking ideas, gathering and sharing them locally.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, 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. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
