About TED
TED
is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started
as a four-day conference in California 25 years ago, TED has grown to
support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. The
annual TED Conference invites the world's leading thinkers and doers to
speak for 18 minutes. Their talks are then made available, free, at TED.com.
TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth
Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The
annual TED Conference takes place in Long Beach, California; TEDGlobal is held each year in Oxford, UK, and this November, the TEDIndia Conference will be held in Mysore, India. TED's media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily, and the Open Translation Project,
which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the
ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide. TED
has established the annual TED Prize,
where three exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are
given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to host local, self-organized events around the world, and the TED Fellows
program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to
become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact
of their remarkable projects and activities.
