Partnership Opportunities

What is TED?

TED is a global foundation devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out in

1984 as a conference bringing together people from 3 worlds: Technology,

Entertainment, Design. Since then, its scope has become ever broader.

With its 3 annual conferences, video website TED.com, initiatives and

community projects, TED is now a platform and a global movement focused on

meaningful change through the power of ideas.

What is TEDx ?

TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's mission,

“Ideas Worth Spreading." The program is designed to give communities,

organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through

TED-like experiences at the local level.

At TEDx events, a screening of TEDTalks videos -- or a combination of live

presenters and TEDTalks videos -- sparks deep conversation and

connections. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently,

on a community-by-community basis.

How does it work?

•At the center of the TED organization is the TEDTalk --

•In 18 minutes or less, TEDx speakers share their Idea Worth Spreading.

It can be an idea to change the world, an idea to educate, or to inspire.

•These talks are then recorded, edited and uploaded to the TEDx website.

•There are no panels, breakout sessions or multiple tracks at TEDx events.

TEDx Manifesto

X We empower people to make their voices heard in the

community.

X We embrace a wide variety of ideas.

X We believe that bringing people together locally for sharing

has the power to turn ideas into actions.

X We believe all these ideas can best be realized through

regular personal interaction.

What if the future

leaders build their

connection in 20s but

not in their 50s?

Who will become the

future World leader?

How to create a deep

circle of trust among

future leaders?

“Live a life true to yourself , not the life others expected of you”
