Long before Dan learned how to swim in water, he had to learn how to tread through life at a time when he felt as if he were drowning. By being vulnerable, he was able to overcome himself and ultimately his fears, which he shares in his story.
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)
