About TED

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, started in the United States in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged.


Today TED is an annual conference and it covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues. TED believes passionately in the power of ideas to change the world. At TED, the world's leading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Talks are then made available, free, at TED.com.

About TEDx

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.


These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Why Dubai?

Dubai’s diverse population from over 200 nationalities makes it an ideal platform for rich, global dialogues and a wide array of perspectives at a TEDx event.

As a forefront of technological and architectural innovation, Dubai offers a stage to highlight and discuss groundbreaking advancements, from robotics to sustainable urban planning

Dubai’s position as a global crossroads and its top-tier infrastructure make it a perfect venue for attracting an international audience, enhancing the event’s reach and impact

With its thriving start-up ecosystem and business-friendly environment, Dubai is a prime location to feature local entrepreneurs and foster professional networks and collaboration.

The city’s blend of modern luxury and traditional Emirati culture provides a unique backdrop, enriching the TEDx experience with local heritage and contemporary achievements.
