# Ideas Worth Spreading

Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world

> <span class="caps">TED</span> 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 <span class="caps">TED</span> Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh UK each summer — <span class="caps">TED</span> includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and <span class="caps">TED</span> Conversations, the inspiring <span class="caps">TED</span> Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual <span class="caps">TED</span> Prize.

Many are subtitled in a variety of languages, and have an interactive transcript.
