What is TED?

TED believes passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. TED is a non-profit organization committed to building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers, who present their “ideas worth spreading” via more than 2,000 TED Talks accessible at TED.com. TED also engages a global community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other.  TED welcomes people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world.
