A Little History about TED
TED began in 1984 as a gathering place for innovators and leaders in the fields of
Technology, Entertainment and Design. For nearly 3 decades, TED has become a nexus
for a global community of individuals who believe in the power of ideas.
The TED.com video library features more than 600 amazing talks of such high quality that
the site has become the platinum standard for innovation in digital storytelling.

4. What is TEDx?
TED has created the TEDx program— local, self-organized events that bring people
together to share a TED-like experience. Some are small and intimate. Some are larger
(like ours).
The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual
TEDx events are self-organized.
What is TEDxSanAntonio?
TEDxSanAntonio is our region’s showcase for innovation,
industry, creativity, values, activities, passions and culture
to the worldwide TED community.
We know our community is a well kept secret — we’re going to shine a light on the city’s
brain trust in an intimate TEDx setting.
The TEDxSanAntonio community serves as an incubator for thought leadership.
