What are the differences between TED, TEDGlobal, and TEDIndia?
A. TED is our historic, flagship gathering, taking place annually in California since 1984. TED attracts about 1,300 attendees, and three-quarters of its speakers and attendees are from the US. TEDGlobal, held annually in Europe, is TED’s twin conference, sharing its format and audience — but with a stronger international approach. Of its 700 attendees, it draws a more global audience and speaker line-up (three-quarters from outside of the US). TEDIndia, planned for November 2009 in Mysore, will have a strong South Asian flavor. While we expect a globally diverse group of attendees, the speakers will primarily hail from (and/or be active in) the South Asian region. Similarly, the majority of the 100 Fellows chosen to attend TEDIndia will be from South Asia with the remainder representing our five target regions.
