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)

Emma is the CEO and Co-Founder of Wildfang - a place that badass women call home. Wildfang is a lifestyle brand that launched in March 2013 and saw 20k girls join in just 30 days. Wildfang has since built a highly engaged tribe of fans, including numerous celebrities and musicians like Janelle Monae, Ellen Page and Evan Rachel Wood.
