Conferences
Two or more times a year, a group of interesting and impactful people gathers for a week-long TED experience — which attendees have described as "the ultimate brain spa" and "a journey into the future in the company of those creating it." Dedicated to TED’s global mission of researching and sharing great new ideas, conference speakers are selected by our curatorial research team who identify and investigate ideas and innovations that matter. We invite prominent academics, educators, researchers, philanthropists, environmentalists, scientists, technologists, artists and others to attend and present short lectures – our signature TEDTalks - in their areas of research and expertise. It's a winning formula of brilliant, curious minds and groundbreaking content in an immersive and educational environment.
