TED (
Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a global set of conferences run by the private non-profit
Sapling Foundation, under the slogan "Ideas Worth Spreading". The emphasis is on the educational aspect. TED was founded in February 1984 as a one-off event; the annual conference series began in 1990. TED's early emphasis was technology and design, consistent with its Silicon Valley origins, but it has since broadened its focus to include talks on many scientific, cultural, and academic topics which are really inspiring TED Talks sometimes.
