Please note: "TED Membership" refers specifically to a subscription status joined by making a donation to TED.
TED Membership is not the same as a free TED.com account.
To learn how to delete your TED.com account, visit this article.
"TED Membership" is also not the same as a TED Conference Attendee membership.
To review conference registration policies, visit this page.
Please note: TED Membership is currently transitioning donation management from within a TED.com account to an enhanced third-party management platform. This process is incremental, so Members are temporarily divided between two platforms. If you are unsure on which platform your donation is managed, please reach out to us at members@ted.com and we will gladly assist.

If your Membership was started before October 2024, and you have not yet received notification of your Membership migrating to the new management portal, you can cancel renewal by visiting
Membership Dashboard -- log in with the email of your linked TED.com account.
If you encounter a message asking you to join TED Membership, there are two possible reasons:
1. You may be logged in to the wrong TED.com account. Please double-check your login.
2. Your subscription was never linked to a TED.com account. Please reach out to our Member Support team at members@ted.com
Follow these steps:
1. click Settings in the menu on the left of the Membership Dashboard
2. click Cancel plan at the bottom of the Settings (see image below)
3. A window will open asking you to choose a reason you're leaving Membership (it helps us improve the benefits!)
4. Confirm cancellation
