TED Talks
Welcome to TED, a global media organization committed to spreading innovative ideas, founded in 1984. TED is known for its extensive library of free online presentations that strive to share powerful ideas that can change the world. What makes TED unique is its ability to attract world-renowned speakers such as Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, and Sir Ken Robinson, among other notable thought leaders. These experts are given a platform to express their groundbreaking ideas to a vast audience. As a result, TED Talks have received over 1 billion views across various platforms.
TED's mission is to share "ideas worth spreading" to improve the world by inspiring, educating, and entertaining its audience. TED began as a convergence of technology, entertainment, and design. It has since expanded its scope of topics to encompass science, business, and global issues. The organization has posted over 3,000 talks on its various platforms, with subjects tackling a range of topics from creativity to climate change.
TED is not only about its online library; it also holds an annual conference and thousands of independently organized events worldwide. The TED conference is a much-awaited yearly event that is attended by diverse communities of innovators, changemakers, and forward-thinkers. TEDx is another initiative that helps local communities worldwide organize their TED-like experiences independently.
