Learn more TEDWomen was a three-day conference about the power of women and girls to be creators and change-makers. The program of speakers, workshops, afternoon and evening events — and daring discussions — has sparked some of TED's most iconic moments yet. TEDWomen was first held in Washington, DC in 2010; then in San Francisco, CA in 2013 and 2016; and in Monterey, CA in 2015; New Orleans, LA in 2017; and Palm Springs, CA in 2018 and 2019. TEDWomen 2020 was a virtual gathering connecting five TEDx events simultaneously happening around the world. Learn more TEDGlobal traveled the world and was slightly more international in nature. The full TED format was maintained, with a wide-ranging roster of speakers and performers for a week of inspiring sessions focused on a region of the world. TEDGlobal was held in Oxford, UK in 2005, 2009 and 2010; in Arusha, Tanzania in 2007 and 2017; in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2011, 2012 and 2013; and in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2014. Learn more TEDSummit brought together our most engaged community members for five days of in-depth workshops, performances, outdoor activities, future-focused discussions and an eclectic program of TED Talks. The event was designed and devoted to enlightening and inspiring action – emphasizing community interaction, dynamic discussions and collaboration between TED speakers, TED Fellows, TEDx organizers, TED-Ed educators, and some of the most engaged TED attendees. TEDSummit was held in Banff, Canada in 2016 and Edinburgh, UK in 2019. Learn more TED also hosts other special events around the globe, some of which are connected to a mission and others that are created in collaboration with partners. TEDMonterey held in August 2021 was a uniquely intimate four-day event in the place where TED began: Monterey, California -- a calling back to our roots with a focus on building a brighter future for everyone. The first Countdown Summit was held in Edinburgh, Scotland in October 2021. This invitation-only, four day event fostered collaboration and commitments to climate action from leaders across many disciplines. The ideas shared was further amplified by local events around the world. TED also hosts smaller events, including TED Salons , evening-length events with speakers and performers to explore issues of interest. Meanwhile, TED Institute events bring TED's curatorial lens to the ideas found within large companies. The annual TED-Ed Weekend is a youth conference that brings together student leaders from around the world for inspiring performances, hands-on activities, and riveting TED Talks by members of the TED-Ed Student Talks program. From time to time, TED also hosts events available to the public. In March of 2020, as COVID-19 began to sweep the globe, TED kicked off a free, live and daily conversation series featuring experts whose ideas might help us reflect and work through a difficult time with a sense of responsibility, compassion and wisdom. Attendance at TED is by application, and the attendees — scientists, CEOs, designers, intellectuals, entrepreneurs, artists — are as extraordinary as the speakers. TED's success is in bringing together the world's most remarkable people across many fields. The result? Unexpected connections. Extraord
