TED TALKS 

TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences — the TED Conference on the West Coast each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh UK each summer — TED includes the award-winning TED Talks video site, the Open Translation Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize.TEDMED 

TEDxSanDiego 

TEDxSanDiego brings together innovators, explorers, teachers and learners to encourage conversation and collaboration.  Our vision is to be a local forum for ideas that inspire people to change their lives and their world. A not-for-profit, volunteer-driven organization, TEDxSanDiego would not be possible without the people and companies who commit their passion, financial and practical support to creating the TEDxSanDiego Experience.
