A non-profit organization devoted to "ideas worth spreading"
A message from TED Curator Chris Anderson
Now, today you are part of a truly remarkable global phenomenon.
Around the world, thousands of people have been gathering in meetings
to experience the power of ideas.
A surprising thing about today's meeting is that we here at TED
have had almoust nothing to do with it.
We lent our name, our format, a few simple guidelines
and some of our content
but the really hard work to make today happen
has been down to your local organizers
and we are truly in awe
of the passion and dedication that they have shown to make something like this work.
And thank you to you too
for taking the time out to come and be part
of this exciting conversation about our shared future.
And please write and tell us what you make of the event today.
But for now, on with the show.
