TED's flagship conference: five days of stage talks for an audience admitted by application, with the talks themselves published free afterwards.
Una pagina evento indica quando si svolge (con il grado di certezza sulla data), perché è rilevante, quale atmosfera caratterizza la settimana circostante, quando arrivare e partire, dove soggiornano le persone, come funziona l'accesso e quali eventi precedono e seguono nel circuito.
TED's annual conference is the parent event of everything that carries the name. It runs as a sequence of short stage sessions across five days, with speakers drawn from science, technology, design, the arts, politics, medicine and activism, each given a strict time limit and a rehearsed brief.
The 2026 edition ran from 13 to 17 April at the Vancouver Convention Centre under the theme All of Us, and it was the last in that city.
The most important thing about TED for anyone reading a calendar is that the product is not the conference.
01Perché è rilevante
TED's influence is disproportionate to its size because of what happens after the room empties: a talk given on that stage in April is watched by millions over the following years, and the format itself has been copied by every conference organiser in the world.
02La settimana intorno all'evento
Neither Vancouver nor San Diego is noticeably altered by a conference of this size, and that is part of TED's character: it is a large event in a large city rather than a takeover.
03Quando arrivare
Arrive the day before the opening; the programme starts early and runs long, and the sessions are the point.
04Dove alloggiare
For the Vancouver years, Coal Harbour and the downtown core around Canada Place put attendees within a short walk of the convention centre, with Yaletown and the West End a little further and quieter; the Fairmont properties on Canada Place and Georgia Street were the landmarks.
05Accesso e ospitalità
Attendance is by application. TED reviews applicants and admits its audience rather than selling open tickets, and it does not publish a public price on its conference pages; press reporting has long described membership as among the most expensive of any conference, and we quote no figure.
06Dove si svolge l'attività sociale
Almost everything is inside the conference footprint: the simulcast lounges, the exhibition and workshop spaces, and the meals, which TED treats as part of the programme rather than as breaks from it.

09Storia
TED was founded in February 1984 by Richard Saul Wurman and Harry Marks as a one-off conference on the convergence of technology, entertainment and design, and became annual in 1990.
10Chi è presente
Company founders and chief executives; venture and philanthropic funders; scientists, physicians and academics; designers, architects and artists; writers, film-makers and journalists; foundation and non-profit leaders; and the TED fellows and speakers themselves, who attend as participants rather than as guests.
