What is "tedxmcgill"

TEDxMcGill is a Montreal-based conference that focuses on disseminating "ideas worth spreading". It was created in 2009 by McGill student volunteers. Speakers are chosen to share their story and singular experience. The next conference is to be held on March 19, 2016 under the theme Paradigm Shift. TEDxMcGill takes its name from McGill University, which hosts the conference. Along with TEDxConcordia and TEDxToronto, it is one of the largest TEDx events in Canada. Although TEDx events are licensed by TED, individual events are local and self-organized.
