TEDxDublin is being organised by UCDs Aaron Quigley and is being hosted by Dublin’s Science Gallery on 12 June 2009 @ 19:15.
TEDx events are independently organised TED events. They are being organised in cities all around the world, and now in Dublin too! You can find more information about TEDx here.
So far only a Facebook page has been set up, but a proper site is in the pipeline.
