How can one start a non-profit organization?

How does one start TEDx at their own school/organization?

• Just curious of the process of organizing TEDx.

• Answer:

  You should apply for a licence. There a three types of events: 1) Small audience, no speakers: You can gather with your friends and watch TED videos. 2) Small audience with speakers: Audience should be less than 100. One day event, with speakers. You record the talks. 3) Big audience, with speakers: You should attend one TED conference to organize this type of event. You record the talks. Alternatively you can organize TEDxLive which is watching live broadcast of TED. More information: http://www.ted.com/tedx
