It currently costs $4,400 to attend a TED conference. They are invitation-only events, but there is a simple process for requesting an invitation, and anyone can apply. We welcome to TED a wide variety of leading thinkers and doers from all fields of endeavor. You simply go to Registration and click one of the links listed under Option 2.

If your invitation request is accepted, you will have the opportunity to pay the fee (due at time of registration) and attend the conference. We issue invitations if we believe that at least some of the following are true:

* you are curious, open-minded, playful, smart, creative
* you have achieved notable success in your chosen field
* you are able to make a valuable contribution to the exchange of ideas that takes place at TED
* you are interested to help create a better future for our world

For people working full time in Education or for a Non-Profit, we have a limited number of passes priced at a 50% discount. And each year we award up to 5 free passes for truly exceptional individuals who otherwise could not afford to come to TED. If you believe you fall into either of these categories, click the appropriate choice on the registration page.
