TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper
understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and,
ultimately, the world. On TED.com, we're building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world's most
inspired thinkers — and a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at
TED and TEDx events around the world, all year long.
In fact, everything we do — from our TED Talks videos to the projects sparked by the TED Prize, from the
global TEDx community to the TED-Ed lesson series — is driven by this goal: How can we best spread great
ideas?
TED is owned by a nonprofit, nonpartisan foundation. Our agenda is to make great ideas accessible and spark
conversation.
