List of TED speakers

This is a partial list of people who have spoken or otherwise presented at official TED conferences such as TED, TED@, TEDActive, TEDCity, TED-Ed, TED-NY, TEDGlobal, ^{[1] [2]} TEDSummit, TEDIndia, TEDSalon, TEDWomen, TEDYouth, TED Fellows Retreat, and TED Talks Education. It also includes speakers at the independent TEDMED conferences. ^{[3] [4] [5] [6] [7]} Talks from the independent TEDx conferences are not included since there are thousands of such events (over 11,000 held and over 1,100 upcoming as of January 2021 ^[update] ) making them less notable. ^[8] The TED.com website also hosts videos from conferences not affiliated with TED, but those talks and speakers are not included in this list.
