The background is a blue wall with a red and white sign that reads "TED". The woman appears to be giving a presentation or speech, as she is gesturing with her hands and looking towards the audience. The audience is seated in front of the stage, and their heads are visible in the foreground. The lighting is bright, and the overall atmosphere seems to be that of a formal event or conference.
