Big ideas today, shaping a better tomorrow.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the TED conference.

While talks from that first gathering in 1984 were available only to those who paid to be in the room...

in 2024, TED shared 17,964 big ideas for free — available to everyone, everywhere.

This year, TED content was watched and heard more than 1.52 billion times, educating and inspiring the world.
