This independently organized event community is part of the TEDx program created by the nonprofit conference and event organization, TED.
We are a supported program of Fiesta for the Mind, a San Antonio-based nonprofit organization that produces community idea-forward events and dialog. Meet the Fiesta for the Mind leadership team.
About TEDxSanAntonio

- Share the voices, ideas, and experiences of the people of San Antonio and Central Texas with the global TED community; also, to bring fresh ideas to our community.
- Foster respectful dialog and connections between thinkers, community builders, creators, and action agents.
- Provide development and growth opportunities to community leaders and volunteers.
Here’s an illustrated look at the impact and reach of the TEDxSanAntonio program and community.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
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, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. 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.)
About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 30 years ago, TED has grown to support its mission with multiple initiatives. The two annual TED Conferences invite the world’s leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes or less. Many of these talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Sal Khan and Daniel Kahneman.
