Conceived in 1984, TED is an American media organization that provided a pedestal to share innovative ideas in the fields of Technology, Entertainment, and Design (TED). The conferences garnered massive support in the later years, and so extended its horizons to include fields of Science, Philosophy, Music, Religion, Philanthropy, Culture, Politics, and Academic Topics. Over the years, TED has gained a reputation as one of the most influential platforms to share ideas and it has spread all over the Globe.
