A Little History about TED

TED began in 1984 as a gathering place for innovators and leaders in the fields of Technology, Entertainment and Design. 26 years later, TED has become a nexus for a global community of individuals who believe in the power of Ideas Worth Spreading.

The TED.com video library features more than 600 amazing talks of such high quality that the site has become the platinum standard for innovation in digital storytelling.

TEDx is part of a revolution in global education made possible by local organizers wanting to engage their communities.

It’s all about the passion for ideas…...

TED has created the TEDx program— local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

Some are small, intimate. Some are larger (like ours).

The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
