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, 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)

For people commenting on her talking or mannerisms, she could easily just be nervous or have a health issue that causes physical responses when under duress. This sometimes happens to me because of an autoimmune disease. It's pretty ableist to judge her for that.

Are Ted talks (speeches) public domain? I believe it would be great to incorporate some of the speeches in music pieces!

Interesting talking points, but extremely poor energy by the presenter. Very hard to stay tuned. Usually TEDx presenters are actually good at presenting
