TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design — three broad subject areas that are, collectively, shaping our future. In fact, the event is broader still, showcasing ideas that matter in any discipline. The format is fast paced: 50+ talks over the course of four days (to say nothing of the morning and evening events). This immersive environment allows attendees and speakers from vastly different fields to ‘cross-fertilize’ and draw inspiration from unlikely places. This is the magic of TED.

Attendance at TED is by invitation only, and the attendees – CEOs, scientists, designers, intellectuals – are as extraordinary as the speakers, who in 2007 included former US President Bill Clinton, musician Paul Simon, author Isabel Allende, biologist EO Wilson, designer Phillipe Starck, and Virgin CEO Richard Branson. Indeed, TED's success is based on the extraordinary effect of bringing together 1,000 of the world's most remarkable people. The result? Unexpected connections. Extraordinary insights. Powerful inspiration.
