Self proclaimed "deranged millionaire" John Hodgeman, challenges us to consider how we prepare or avoid catastrophic disaster in an uncanny delivery that induces laughter and provokes thought. His theatrical delivery is coated with charm. 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)
