"Sponsoring TED is like underwriting the future and those who will have a significant role in leading the way."
Michela O'Connor Abrams
"TED is brimming with innovators, people less interested in figuring out how to prop up the collapsed economy of the last century than in creating an economy for the 21st century."
Arianna Huffington
Why become a TED partner? To engage with the future, to find elusive audiences, to test your ideas and to create a tangible relationship. Becoming a TED partner means you share in our mission of spreading ideas that might change the world, join our community of thought leaders, and benefit from an individually tailored sponsorship.
TED speakers tackle humanity's toughest questions, answering with innovation, enterprise and enduring optimism. We are home to ideas that inspire people to change their lives, their communities and ultimately, their world. Every day, we hear from people who have been positively affected by TED, whose lives have been made better by access to a broad spectrum of ideas, and some who have been galvanized to create a better life for others as a result. As a TED partner, you'll be part of this.
The TED audience is an extraordinary breed -- open-minded, curious, intelligent and hungry to learn more about the world. TED attracts an audience of millions who want to hear ideas from the world's most innovative and influential people. Our conference draws the world's leading thinkers and doers -- CEOs and scientists, producers and policy makers -- and our website is a beacon for thought leaders across every demographic.
We aren't just selling ad space -- our goal is to create lasting partnerships with visionary corporations and innovative enterprises. Each partnership opportunity is uniquely crafted to meet your goals as well as the needs of our audience. We work with our partners to ensure that they are participating in the aspect of TED that is right for them, in a way that reflects the character of both our organizations. Opportunities are available at all three conferences and on TED.com, as well as through the various TED initiatives: TEDx events, the TED Prize and the TED Fellows program.
