Everyone who's been alive the past ten years should be aware of TED. It's an expanding non-profit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. TED brings together people from the world's of Technology, Entertainment and Design. And those people share their absolutely amazing ideas and insights through their through-the-roof presentations. In addition to the two TED main events, local events are happening around the globe as well. Gladly, one of these local events called TEDx, is being organised here in Helsinki. The x signifies an independently organised TED event. 

Alex Nieminen, founder of N2, took the initiative with other commendable people and they are proudly organising it in Helsinki 22 October. Max kudos for making it happen.

According to TED site the presenters lucky enough to be asked to speak at TED are given 18-minute slots maximum, some are for even less time such as 3- and 6-minute slots. But it's not only the burden of time management. There are ten TED commandments for the presenters as well.

Novelist Amy Tan described the arrival of the TED Commandments as “something that creates a near-death experience; but near-death is good for creativity…”.
