A conference is a meeting, often lasting a few days, which is organized on a particular subject, or to bring together people who have a common interest. Conferences can be used as a form of group decision-making, although discussion, not always decisions, is the primary purpose of conferences.
Every year, TED hosts conferences to bring together a group of expert thinkers and doers across a wide range of fields to help share new ideas. We’re joined by prominent academics, educators, researchers, philanthropists, environmentalists, scientists, technologists, artists, activists and more.
