Hi Amy-
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for reaching out. I don't know the answer off-hand, but I can certainly look into it from a central institute perspective. I'll check in with Nate Nickerson and others in the Office of the President/Office of Institute Affairs and get back to you.</div>

Recently one of our MBA students applied to host a TEDx event. She planned to use the name TEDxSloan, however, the TEDx team informed her that it doesn’t license schools/centers or colleges within universities. Only the university itself (MIT) can be licensed.<o:p></o:p></div>

We are trying to do a little research to help this student, but we don’t have any experience with TEDx. We have noticed there is a TEDxCambridge and a TEDxMIT. Has anyone used either one of these licensed names before? Which one would be more appropriate?<o:p></o:p></div>

And, is there someone at MIT Central who might possibly be a point person or have knowledge about TEDx events? Any advice or insight would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></div>
