What’s it like to attend?
“This was the best investment that I have made in my career. It made my heart sing to see so many inspiring people moving in the same direction and wanting to collaborate with one another.”
“I was able to engage more deeply with other attendees. While I love the in-person events, something about the virtual nature made it possible to engage more and for longer. Especially in the breakout sessions.”
“I learned. I connected. I was inspired. That's TED.”
“TED’s virtual event definitely exceeded my expectations. In putting this together, you've discovered something new and powerful that, I think, has a place all its own.”
