Conferencested exists to research, discover and spread great new ideas. The purpose: to educate and inspire a more comprehensive understanding of our shared humanity and improve the ways in which we connect and communicate with one another. The primary way in which we do this is via our flagship ted conferences to which we invite prominent researchers, academics, educators, philanthropists, environmentalists, scientists, technologists, artists and others, to attend and present short lectures our signature tedtalks - in their areas of research and expertise.

Program 2

Every year we research and select the boldest, brightest ideas and work with change-makers to make their initiatives even more audacious. We then present those ideas to the public and an inspiring group of donors who come together to get them launched.

Ted-ed, ted's education initiative aims to amplify the voices and ideas of teachers and students around the world via a series of powerful free and/or low-cost resources for educators and students. For ted-ed animations, the internal team researches and scouts the world's best educators and brings to life their most compelling lessons via animation. The current library of more than 1,200 ted-ed animations is accessed by more than 2 million learners every day. Educators can also create interactive lessons around any ted video.
