The TED story
Ideas worth spreading, this says it all. I'm in love with TED and what it does and I'm happy to help in any way. The impact of TED on every one of our lives is remarkable whether we know about it or not.
In my teens, I watched TED talks frequently and when the opportunity knocked on the door, I volunteered at the first TEDx event in Iran.
Since then I volunteered on 20+ and Co-organized 7 TEDx events.
