Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences -‐-‐ the TED Conference and TEDGlobal -‐-‐ TED includes the award-‐winning TED Talks video site, the Open Translation Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize.
• TED conferences bring together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes or less).
• The TEDx program gives communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-‐like experiences at the local level. TEDx events are planned and coordinated independently.
