[Editors] TEDx events

[Amy MacMillan Bankson]

Dear Editors:

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.

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?

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.

Thanks so much.

Amy
