Description
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design — three broad subject areas that are collectively shaping the world. But a TED conference is broader still, showcasing important ideas from any discipline, and exploring how they all connect. The format is fast-paced: 50+ talks over the course of a week, as well as morning and evening get-togethers. As they take in the program, attendees and speakers from vastly different fields can cross-fertilize and draw inspiration from unlikely places. This is the magic of TED.
Twice a year, a group of interesting and impactful people gathers for the week-long TED experience — which attendees have described as “the ultimate brain spa” and “a journey into the future in the company of those creating it.” It’s a winning formula of brilliant, curious minds and groundbreaking content in an immersive and focused environment.
TEDGlobal, held annually in Europe, is TED’s twin conference, sharing its format and audience – but with a stronger international approach. Of its 700 attendees, it draws a more global audience and speaker line-up (three-quarters from outside of the US).
Eligibility

Applicants must be proficient in English.

TED covers the costs for round-trip economy airfare, ground transportation to and from the conference location, meals and shared accommodation on site.
