TED (an acronym for Technology, Entertainment and Design) began its talks in 1984, and since that time, TED Talks have become the standard for short, powerful lectures designed to spark conversation. The program was created to help communities, organizations and individuals produce TED-style events at the local level. These events are planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis, under a free license from TED.
