There's two things non-technology people don't seem to know about TED when they mention it to me.

First that TEDx events have little to do with TED. Second the prices for proper events are in the elitist levels of society. It's no surprise when you start to notice the audience members are more famous than the speakers.

>First that TEDx events have little to do with TED.

hah. Yes, the continued existence of TEDx indicates that the organizers of TED are not aware of just how severely TEDx damages their brand.

I don't think it's so bad they charge a lot. They put everything online for free.
