Consider TED a horizontal institute where people from across disciplines come to explore ideas and share their experience.
As a nonprofit, TED is a community of individuals and corporations who see the power of ideas to promote new thinking -- and ultimately to move the world forward.
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design, and it started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then, TED's scope has become even broader, and today it is a leading-edge website and group of conferences that create a stage to amplify ideas worth spreading. TED.com has a library of more than 500 amazing TEDTalks that have become the reference point for remarkable presentations on world-changing ideas.
With a focus on quality not quantity, we work with a select group of corporations to become TED partners.
