Alex Benepe talks about the emergence of a fictional sport into a national real life sport. Alex has led the growth of quidditch from a dozen students who first adapted the game from the books so they could play on a field behind their dorm in 2005, to its current roster today of more than 200 teams, 4,000 dues-paying registered players, and millions of fans globally.

TEDxUCLA was organized by UCLA Extension Visual Arts


In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
