Unfortunately we are not one of the lucky ones to have received an invitation (only) for the TED event. The event will take place from up wednesday 7th till 10th.
On TED event all the important world's and leaders come together to talk about, technology, entertainment, design, business, science,arts and world issues. The theme for this year "Icons. Geniuses. Mavericks"
As always the names from the speakers will be great ( remember the apple MAC intro in '84 or in 2005 Bono for "one"?). One of the major presentations last year was Al Gore with his famous "global warming powerpoint". This year a few names of the speakers are; Paul Simon, Tracy chapman, Richard Branson, Kareem abdul Jabbar and others!!
This year Bill Clinton,will be honored, along with war photographer James Nachtwey and evolutionary biologist E.O. Wilson with the TED prize, an annual award given to remarkable individuals to recognize an outstanding contribution in their area. Prize winners are granted $100,000 and a wish to change the world, which TED attendees are asked to help them do. Last year's recipients will provide an update on where their wish projects currently stand. ( wired)
One of the interesting presentation will be from sims creator, Will Wright about his new game "Spore". I am also curious about the presentation of John Doerr, one of the worlds best-known VC's, on the other hand, most of them I wish I could have joined. But try again next year!
