TED is a non-profit organization dedicated to spreading ideas, often in the form of short, powerful conversations (18 minutes or less). It began in 1984 as a conference where technology, entertainment and design converged, and today covers almost every topic - from science to business to global issues - in more than 100 languages. In particular, TEDx events, independently, help share ideas in communities around the world.

TEDxUNIFESP will have people from different areas, who will bring new ideas to the table and plant a seed of innovation to the community of the Federal University of São Paulo, for those who are in the auditorium and for those who are at home.
