Physics major Matthew (Matt) Kafker possesses diverse academic interests, including astrophysics, mythology, and ancient Greek history. Matt Kafker often listens to informative and educational podcasts and lectures, including the popular TED Talks.
TED Conferences began more than 30 years ago to introduce innovations in technology, entertainment, and design (“TED”) to a wider audience. Today, TED Talks cover diverse topics, including health, business, education, science, and economics. TED Talks have been streamed over a billion times by listeners all over the world.
Outside of official TED Conferences held annually, thousands of organizations, colleges, and research institutions organize their own speakers under the brand TEDx. These local conferences must adhere to a set of rules to maintain a TED license.
For example, local organizers must ensure that speakers represent different industries and that the conference does not have any promotional undertones. Also, since TEDx is intended to provide a platform for new ideas and perspectives, professional motivational speakers and well-known life coaches are generally not permitted to participate.
