What is TEDx?

Since 1984 in California (USA) there was a conference that gathered scientists, politicians, businessmen, artists, musicians, engineers and many others on one stage. It was called TED – Technology, Entertainment, Design, which can be translated as “Science, Art, Culture”.

Conference slogan ˗ “Ideas worth spreading” explains its main task: to tell about interesting ideas to as many people as possible.
The organizers of the first TED were Richard Sol Wurmen and Harry Marks. On the first TED a Macintosh computer was shown – the world’s first compact disc of Sony. Mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot told about the applications of the theory of fractals he created, and the specialist in artificial intelligence Marvin Minsky – about a new model of the mind.

Today, the TED conference brings together leaders of contemporary thought and personalities who can tell about their ideas in 18 minutes. Among the people who spoke at various times on TED were Bill Gates, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabelle Allende and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

Since 1990, the TED conference has been held annually. Currently, it is being held in Lang Beach, California, with a live broadcast to Palm Springs, and an annual TED Global conference in Oxford, UK. All performances are laid out in free access to the organization’s website. TED’s performances can also be watched via Facebook or Instagram.
