TED's mission of "Ideas Worth Spreading" now reaches far beyond the yearly conferences, encompassing a variety of projects and initiatives that seek to leverage the power of ideas to change the world.
Along with two annual conferences -- the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh UK each summer -- TED now includes the award-winning TEDTalks video series, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, the social media platform TED Conversations, and the annual TED Prize.
