TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to spreading ideas through conferences and talks on a variety of topics. It began in 1984 focusing on technology, entertainment, and design, and is now a global phenomenon. TEDx events allow for independently organized local TED-style events. This document outlines the history and mission of TED and provides details about TEDx events held in Ukraine, specifically multiple TEDxKharkov conferences held annually in Kharkov featuring talks on various topics by professionals from the local area.
2. What is TED
TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It is a platform for
spreading great ideas between conscious people.
It started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from three
worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design.
TED is owned by The Sapling Foundation, a private nonprofit foundation. It
was established in 1996 by Chris Anderson, who was at that time a magazine
publishing entrepreneur.
