Forecast: Flash flood of brilliant ideas from TED talks

Since 1984, TED has accumulated over 1,000 “ideas worth spreading” from the world’s most inspired thinkers. Live, annual conferences are an invitation only event and cost attendees $7,500. Over the course of 4 days, attendees hear from at least 50 speakers who receive only 18 minutes in the spotlight.  

Not on the guest list? Not a problem. Recorded talks (available online at TED.com since 2006) have attracted a worldwide audience of more than 500 million views.  

TED’s mission is to spread ideas in hopes of changing viewers’ “attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world.”

Fast paced, genius content, unforgettable delivery, and the most brilliant minds on the planet make talks 18 minutes of time well spent for any listener. Themes are diverse and include topics like: Best of Web, Celebrating Women, Health Matters, A Greener Future and more. 

Invest 18 minutes and expand your thinking. “There is no greater force for changing the world than a powerful idea.”
