Program overview
TED2013: The Young. The
Wise. The Undiscovered.
The best moments at
TED have often come from unexpected places. But this year, we're taking it to
an entirely new level. A series of worldwide auditions -- in 14 cities on six
continents -- will produce the most remarkable lineup in TED's history. At
least half of the program will be crowd-sourced. Welcome to TED2013: The
Young. The Wise. The Undiscovered.
For TED2013, we're
going to leverage TED's expanding footprint to do something special: a
worldwide talent search to bring together the most remarkable lineup in TED's
history.
From April - June 2012, we will hold public auditions in 14
cities on six continents seeking to uncover new talents, voices and ideas the
world needs to hear: emerging trailblazers, under-celebrated sages, hidden
geniuses.
As with every TED, we will weave together a potent mix of
presentations, covering creativity, invention, business, science and the most
pressing global issues. But the way we're doing it represents a leap of
ambition, and a commitment to the power of the crowd. At least half of
our line-up will come from these auditions. And we will invite you and
others around the world to cast your votes on who gets invited!
Anyone can apply to audition. But we're especially looking for:
·
THE INVENTOR ... sharing an innovation with
world-changing potential
·
THE TEACHER ... sharing valuable knowledge
in a memorable way - to teenagers or adults
·
THE PRODIGY ... young talent ready to break
out
·
THE ARTIST ... who can showcase their work
in a compelling, new way (Don't just talk about it. Show us your work!)
·
THE PERFORMER ... music, dance, comedy,
drama... or something entirely different
·
THE SAGE ... wisdom the world needs from those who have
learned it the hard way
·
THE ENTHUSIAST ... with an infectious passion
about a topic they can share
·
THE CHANGE-AGENT ... helping shape the world's
future with work that matters
·
THE STORY-TELLER ... vivid, original, meaningful
... with a talent for connection
·
THE SPARK ... with a powerful idea worth
spreading
We're betting on this process delivering the most thrilling TED
conference in history.
Of course, we will still pull in many well-known speakers the
old-fashioned way. And we'll still use all our curatorial instincts to weave
the pieces together effectively. But make no mistake. This TED will be special!
