TED TED (Technology, Entertainment,
Design) is a global set of conferences run by the private nonprofit organization
Sapling Foundation, under the slogan “Ideas Worth Spreading”.
TED was founded in February 1984 as a one-off
event and the annual conference series began in 1990.
TED’s early emphasis was technology
and design but it has since broadened its focus to include talks on many
scientific, cultural, and academic topics.
TEDGlobal The TEDGlobal Conference
was held for the first time in Oxford, UK in 2005, then in Arusha, Tanzania in
2007, Oxford again in 2009 and 2010, Edinburgh, Scotland in 2011, 2012 and 2013,
and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2014. TED indicates:
“Ten years on, TEDGlobal returns to
Africa. Since our 2007 conference in Arusha, Tanzania, the continent has
experienced spectacular economic, demographic and creative growth, and has made
exciting progress toward its rightful place in the world. Yet many African
nations are beset by challenges. And the stakes have never been higher.
As populations continue to surge, both
opportunity and danger are rising. At TEDGlobal 2017, we’ll bring together an
incredible group of speakers who can collectively help shape how this plays
out.”
