Many people come to TED seeking something out of the ordinary. A chance to mentally recharge. A chance to step back and consider the really big stuff that’s happening. A chance to understand life in a richer way.

TED2008 will be our most ambitious attempt yet to deliver on that agenda. We’re building our program around the biggest questions there are. And because it’s TED, we’ll be seeking answers not just from the sources you might expect, but by bringing together multiple voices from very different disciplines. The “Aha” moments often come from the most unexpected connections. The questions below will give you a flavor of the incredibly rich vein of possibility in this approach. Plenty of Profundity and Challenge, for sure … but also plenty of room for Cool, Exciting and Whimsical

For the first time all sessions were streamed live over the web.

Congratulations to Chris Anderson and the TED team for choosing to do so.

This years program brought together another great lineup.

50 main speakers shared their worldviews with the 1,100 attendees.

Full coverage of all sessions will be available over on the TED blog.
