Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.50,0:00:23.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can't tell you how incredible it is\Nto be here today, at the 2nd TEDxUSC event.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.00,0:00:29.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was just a year ago that TED launched\Nthis little experiment called TEDx,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.25,0:00:32.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where x equals independently\Norganized events,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.50,0:00:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it basically gives anybody,\Nanywhere in the world
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.20,0:00:37.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the opportunity\Nto host a TED-like event.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.30,0:00:42.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now as these said, this idea's\Nbeen brewing for sometime at TED.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.30,0:00:44.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The idea came from\Na number of different places.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.89,0:00:48.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Firstly, about 4 years ago,\Nwe put TED talks online for free.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.50,0:00:52.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Up until then, the TED conference had been\Nan exclusive conference
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.50,0:00:54.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that a few people\Nwent to.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.79,0:00:58.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,About 230 million people\Nhave seen TED talks to date,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.25,0:01:00.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which has transformed\Nthe TED brand.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.50,0:01:02.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,More and more people were\Ncoming up to us and asking us
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.50,0:01:05.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if they could hold an official\NTED conference in their city or country.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.00,0:01:08.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, that idea was\Nvery hard to scale.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.25,0:01:09.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Finally, as we thought through it
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.75,0:01:13.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we really felt that TED talks\Nare sometimes better to view in a group
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.50,0:01:15.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where you could have\Na discussion around them
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.50,0:01:18.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rather than in a solitary way\Nin front of your computer.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.50,0:01:22.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, it was the converging of these ideas\Nout of which the TEDx concept arose.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.00,0:01:28.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, a year ago, there had been\None TEDx event and that was TEDxUSC.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.14,0:01:33.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
