“By spreading ideas worthy enough to be shared, the power of inspiration and change is created”. A global community striving towards spreading ideas from every discipline and culture, that is TED in a nutshell. It is a non-profit media organisation that helps people get the deeper meaning of ideas, attitudes, and the world itself. From its origin in 1984, TED talks have touched people’s hearts. It is continued to be watched all around the world. The impact a TED event creates is unmatched. TED conferences and events inspire and motivate people towards becoming a better version of themselves
