These short trailers and behind-the-scenes videos give you a taste of the magic that happens at TED. Amazing speakers, powerful connections and unforgettable moments happen at each of our four-day "brain spa" events, in Long Beach and Edinburgh -- and they echo throughout the web, as we release videos from the conferences on TED.com.
