TED en Español: TED2017’s first-ever Spanish-language speaker session
March 9, 2017

For the first time ever, the annual TED Conference in Vancouver will feature an entire session of Spanish-language TED Talks….

Titled ¨Conexión y sentido¨, or “Connection and meaning,” the session will feature six speakers from a range of backgrounds and disciplines. They include artist Tomas Saraceno (Argentina/Germany); poet, musician and singer Jorge Drexler (Uruguay/Spain); former presidential candidate and peace activist Ingrid Betancourt (Colombia/France/UK); primatologist Isabel Behncke Izquierdo (Chile/US); physicist Gabriela Gonzalez (Argentina/US) and journalist Jorge Ramos (Mexico/US).

The session marks the official launch of TED en Español, a sweeping initiative from TED designed to build content and community in the Spanish-speaking world. The TED en Español team has already been hard at work laying the groundwork for a major effort, actively curating content in Spanish and beginning to share via dedicated Spanish-language channels, including:

•    Weekly newsletter
•    YouTube channel
•    Facebook and Twitter accounts
•    TED Talks with Spanish subtitles (TED en Español ribbon on TED.com coming soon)
•    Dubbed TED-Ed lesson videos

…and more than 2,000 TED Talks with Spanish subtitles
