TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design. Format was founded in February 1984 (by Richard Saul Wurman) and the annual conference series began in 1990. The main TED conference is held annually in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada at the Vancouver Convention Centre. The speakers are given a maximum of 18 minutes to present their ideas in the most innovative and engaging ways they can.
Interesting fact that back then in 1984 first event was financially unsuccessful. But in 2006, attendance cost was $4,400 per person and was by invitation only. In January 2007 to an annual membership fee of $6,000. The 2017 conference will be $17,000 per attendee 🙂
