The University of Minnesota Duluth is providing a live broadcast of the TED2013 conference, "The Young. The Wise. The Undiscovered," in the UMD Tweed Museum of Art from Feb. 26-Mar. 1. For four days, in sections lasting one hour and 45 minutes, 50 people at a time will be able to view the stream coming to UMD from Long Beach, Calif. The TED2013 live broadcast is available for UMD faculty, staff, and students to view without charge. To register, see UMD TED 2013 Registration Form.
The broadcast (see schedule below) will consist of over 70 talks dedicated to business, science, art, politics, economics, modern technologies, and other subjects. The four-day stage program features TED's famous 18-minute talks, plus music, comedy, dance, short talks, video, and other surprises. The list of speakers includes famous entrepreneurs, writers, scientists, musicians, and politicians – people whose ideas and projects are already changing the world. For more information see TED Live.
Past TED Talks have been downloaded more than 500 million times because they feature world-class speakers who talk about “ideas worth spreading” in powerful, but brief, 18-minute presentations.
“Participating in TED2013 will not only give our campus access to speakers who are pioneers and thought leaders, it will also bring different areas of UMD together to discover insights, find inspiration, and begin new collaborations,” said Andrea Schokker, executive vice chancellor for Academic Affairs.
Kim Riordan, associate vice chancellor for Outreach and Online Delivery, said the conference models a lifelong learning path for UMD students. The committee planning the event agreed, the topics are relevant to what UMD students are engaged in, interested in, and learning.
UMD is a member of TED2013 and will have the opportunity to replay sessions and presentations, as long as only one user group is logged in at a time. UMD will also be able to network with other college and universities members in TED "ready rooms" to share notes and ideas.
The TED2013 live broadcast is free for UMD faculty, staff, and students. For more information contact Pat Donahue at pdonahue@d.umn.edu. To register, see: UMD TED 2013 Registration Form.
