$23.1MConferencested 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.
