TEDSummit 2019
A community beyond borders
July 21-25, 2019
Edinburgh, Scotland
Many people see TED through a lens of talks and content. We see it as a global community of people who are interested in ideas that can improve the world. Every few years, TEDSummit gathers over 1000 members of that global community for five days of brainstorms, performances, workshops, outdoor activities, future-focused discussions and an eclectic program of mainstage TED Talks. Three years after the first event in Banff, Canada, TEDSummit 2019 gathered that community beyond borders in beautiful Edinburgh, Scotland.
