They have unlocked the leg irons chaining me to the desk and let me out of the office this week to come and cover TEDGlobal at Oxford. TED stands for technology, entertainment and design, and it's an exclusive conference that brings togethers thinkers and doers from around the world. TED conferences tend to cover every topic under the sun. The speakers include astronomers, tech anthropologists, a biodiversity archivist, a quantum physicist and even an aquatic ape theorist. It is an inspiring conference, but the cost, a few thousand dollars, keeps the numbers low but engaged.
Needless to say, TED covers a bit broader range of topics than our normal digital content fare here at PDA. Hopefully, you'll indugle me, and I'll try to keep the topics interesting. Here's the full TEDGlobal 2009 schedule so if you see anyone who you're intereste let me know, either in the comments, or send me a message on Twitter, @kevglobal. If you've got any comments or questions for the speakers, let me know.
