About TED
“Today, TED is best thought of as a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world.”
(TED.com)
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 25 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives.
The annual TED Conference invites the world’s leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes. Their talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The annual TED Conference takes place each spring in Long Beach, California, along with the TEDActive simulcast in Palm Springs; in 2014 the annual TEDGlobal Conference will be held in Rio de Janeiro
TED’s media initiatives include TED.com, where new TED Talks are posted daily, the recently TED-Ed platform for students and educators, the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TED Talk to be translated by volunteers worldwide, and TEDBooks, short e-books by speakers that elaborate on a single idea originally presented on TED’s stage.
TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to host local, self-organized events around the world, and the TED Fellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.
We are looking forward to this year's upcoming TED event because, after a long time, we will be seeing a representative of the giant online industry - gambling. How did the internet change the concept of video games and games of luck, about the evolution and today's status and overview? However, online casinos did shift the whole gambling industry and became a real game-changer whit their lucrative bonuses and variety of games. Until then, you have the chance to meet these entertainment sites and have a free preview on all the games, including keno. Stay tuned for upcoming news and announcements.

About TEDx and TEDxHagueAcademy
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created TEDx, a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
Our event is called TEDxHagueAcademy, where x=independently organized TED event. At our TEDxHagueAcademy event, TED Talks videos and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized. The first event we launched in the Peace Palace of The Hague in September 2013 touched the topic Peace x Justice. Future events will be held in all kinds of different locations around The Hague, the City of Peace and Justice.
