Event Info
Description
A new decade. An ongoing global financial crisis. It's a time to regroup, re-evaluate -- and then to dream. Dream big. Because the world of ideas has never mattered more. For TED2010 we're assembling a lineup of speakers whose ideas and ingenuity will thrill, enlighten and inspire. It's What the World Needs Now ...
So what does the world need? Stimulus? Recovery? Sure. But at TED2010 we're digging deeper. We're looking for the core ideas that will drive our quest for a better future. Each of our 12 main sessions is devoted to one big idea.
