TED began in 1984 as a conference devoted to the converging fields of technology, entertainment and design. Over the years, the scope has broadened. But the formula remains the same: Gather the world's leading thinkers and doers; offer them four days of rapid-fire stimulation. The result? Unexpected connections. Extraordinary insights. Powerful inspiration.

The Great Unveiling
February 4-7, 2009,
Long Beach, CaliforniaIt's TED's 25th anniversary. But Instead of looking back, we're looking forward. Everyone on the program will be premiering something: a thrilling discovery, a revolutionary idea, a powerful invention, a spectacular piece of art, a first-time performance. We'll share undiscovered talent, and shed new light on names you know. And then, of course, there's another great unveiling: Our new home in Long Beach, California.
