For one incredible week each year, a cavernous wing of the Vancouver Convention Centre in Vancouver, BC, Canada transforms into the TED Theater: a custom-made, hand-built, 1,200-seat theater that plays host to world-changing ideas meant to spark conversation, deepen understanding and drive meaningful change. Below, just a sampling of the incredible photography from this year’s event, TED2024. And check out our live coverage of the conference and watch TED Talks from TED2024.
