ABOUT TED

TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started

out(in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds:

Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever

broader. 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 includes the award-winning

TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project

and Open TV Project, the inspiring TED Fellows

and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize.
