Join us in Vancouver at TED2024, the 40th anniversary of our founding, to celebrate creativity, ingenuity, courage, wisdom and generosity.
We are entering an era of unique challenges and opportunities, driven by the astonishing revolution in technology.
To thrive, we humans will have to raise our game. We must figure out the best forms of collaboration with AI and confidently reassert the values that truly, deeply matter.
TEDs 40th anniversary is a celebration of a future worth having and those leading the way with creativity, ingenuity, courage, wisdom and generosity.

Vancouver Convention Centre
The Vancouver Convention Centre offers both scale and intimacy. At its heart is a soaring space where TED's stage designers create a custom theater designed to maximize the impact of talks, permitting multiple configurations for sitting, listening, conversations, exploration of new ideas and connecting with speakers — a bold rethinking of the conference experience.
Outside the theater, the focus is on beautiful spaces for connections, conversations and diving deeper into ideas through exhibits, workshops and experiences.
