Every year, the technology, entertainment, and design worlds' most inspired movers and shakers convene in Long Beach, California, for a week of forward thinking revelry.

Chris Anderson: How web video powers global innovation | Video on TED.com
TED's Chris Anderson says the rise of web video is driving a worldwide phenomenon he calls Crowd Accelerated Innovation -- a self-fueling cycle of learning that could be as significant as the invention of print. But to tap into its power, organizations will need to embrace radical openness. And for TED, it means the dawn of a whole new chapter ...
After a long career in journalism and publishing, Chris Anderson became the curator of the TED Conference in 2002 and has developed it as a platform for identifying and disseminating ideas worth spreading.

Confessions of a TED Addict - NYTimes.com
In 2001, TED was acquired and is now run by Chris Anderson, the new-media entrepreneur who started Business 2.0. According to June Cohen, the executive producer of TED Media, the speeches were once filmed and cut for a TV pilot. But she had another idea when she brought on Jason Wishnow, an online-video virtuoso. Together, they made the TED talks streamable on the Web in 2006.
Temple Grandin: The world needs all kinds of minds
Temple Grandin, diagnosed with autism as a child, talks about how her mind works -- sharing her ability to "think in pictures," which helps her solve problems that neurotypical brains might miss. She makes the case that the world needs people on the autism spectrum: visual thinkers, pattern thinkers, verbal thinkers, and all kinds of smart geeky kids.

Pre-TED2010 reading list: 8 picks from TED's June Cohen
In the weeks before TED -- amid frenetic preparations for the conference -- I always steal a few calm moments, surrounded by stacks of books by this year's speakers. It's one of my favorite pre-TED rituals. Of course, there's no hope of finishing them all. But I like to immerse myself in at least a few chapters of each, so I can meet the speaker where they are, and understand the conversation they're having with the world.

If you’ve ever watched a TED Talk you’ll know that this isn’t about news, but is about expanding your mind. Coming up with new ideas. Hearing from people who are changing the world and being challenged to do the same with your own life.
