TEDMED is a community of people who are passionate
about imagining the future of health and medicine.
Once a year, TEDMED holds a "grand gathering" where
leaders from all sectors of society come together for three
and a half days. They explore the promise of technology
and the potential of human achievement. This unique event
combines dazzling celebration, high-powered learning and
unforgettable theater.
TEDMED is the only place where a Nobel Prize winning
neurobiologist has a conversation with a four-star general…
where an opera singer (with a double lung transplant)
chats with a NASA space physician… and where a ballet
dancer talks to an exoskeleton designer.
Together, they weave a tapestry that combines the best
thinking from every field and creates infinite new possibilities.
TEDMED has no agenda and no policy prescriptions. Instead,
seeking to serve the nation -- and the world -- by creating a safe
place where people with very different ideas can come together
to talk, to learn and to celebrate the amazing world we live in.
TEDMED's curated conference audience includes thoughtful
individuals from every realm of science, business, technology,
government, religion, law, military, media and the arts.
At TEDMED, you hear ideas you would never otherwise
hear...meet people you would never otherwise meet...and
discover opportunities you would never otherwise find
This year, TEDMED introduced two new concepts at the annual
TEDMED Conference, simultaneous live HD streaming of the
conference to numerous health related institutions and med
schools internationally and a Great Challenges program.
There were many great speakers in this years TEDMED 2012
