TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design. Three major areas that, together, are shaping our future. In addition, TED is also a non-profit organization with an annual event where some of the world's leading thinkers and entrepreneurs are invited to share what they are most passionate about.
With the purpose of spreading worthwhile ideas, TED has created TEDx, a program of local and independently organized conferences that provide an experience similar to the TED conferences.
