About TED

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started in 1984 as a
conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then, its
scope has broadened to include science, business, the arts, and the global
issues facing our world. The annual conference now brings together the world's
most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of
their lives -- in 18 minutes. Attendees have called it "the ultimate brain
spa" and "a four-day journey into the future." The diverse audience -- CEOs,
scientists, creatives, and philanthropists -- is as remarkable as the
speakers, who have included Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Frank
Gehry, Sir Richard Branson, Philippe Starck, Isabel Allende and Bono.

TED was first held in Monterey, California, in 1984. In 2001, Chris Anderson's
Sapling Foundation acquired TED from its founder, Richard Saul Wurman. In
recent years, TED has expanded to include international conferences, the TED
Prize and the free availability of TED talks at TED.com.
