TEDMEDLive

Creative collaboration is the future, says Katie Couric.The respected journalist enlisted in the war on cancer after

the untimely passing of her husband. At TEDMED 2012, Ms.Couric told attendees that researchers must share wisdom,

perspective and even tissue samples.

Dear friend of Research4Life,

What if your institution could host talks by 50 of the world’s most important leaders andthinkers in health and medicine – all on a single day? e cost would be millions. But theinspiration and impact throughout your organization would be worth every dollar.

Now you can host an event of this caliber, cost-free.

TEDMED is the famous, multidisciplinary gathering at the John F. Kennedy Center for thePerforming Arts in Washington, DC, where world-class thinkers and doers inspire us withtheir work and vision on the future of health and medicine. People like E.O. Wilson, CraigVenter, Katie Couric, Dean Kamen, Sanjay Gupta, Billie Jean King, and the executivedirectors of the most important health agencies such as the FDA, CDC and NIH.

anks to our partnership with Research4Life, “TEDMED Live” brings this dazzling eventto your local auditorium in a real-time or on-demand simulcast. During April 16th to the21st, you can choose to host TEDMED Live for one day…two days… or all three and a halfdays of the actual Kennedy Center event. Providing lunch on-site for your local attendeeswill encourage them to talk and make surprising connections among people and ideas,creating the unexpected collaborations so important to innovation. Showcasing your ownlocal, in-person speakers on topics of particular importance to your audience will comple-ment our program, giving an important stage to your own innovators.

Attending TEDMED at the Kennedy Center typically costs $5,000 per person. A corporate-wide, site license of the simulcast costs up to $50,000. But thanks to your relationship withResearch4Life, our partner, you can participate free of charge.

You don’t have to spend millions to host a million-dollar event in your own backyard.TEDMED will energize your community with the biggest names and most exciting ideasin health and medicine. Shouldn’t you be part of the TEDMED excitement?

Sincerely,

Jay WalkerCurator and ChairmanTEDMED

TEDMED is a good place to start a revolution.So said Sandeep Kishore, a young Harvard-educated doctor who urgedmedical schools and med students worldwide to examine “the causes ofthe causes” of disease, including social and economic factors.

Every year for the past 25 years, TED has celebrated“ideas worth spreading” in the fields of technology,entertainment, and design. TED Talks have been watchedover one billion times worldwide. TEDMED celebratesthose fields as well, but with emphasis on health, medicine,and science.

TEDMED: Serving America and the World.

Our community engages around three core values:

InnovationInnovation means more than just new technology.It’s also about new perspectives, new ways ofconnecting and new ways of thinking.

ImaginationBy bringing together people and ideas from widelydifferent disciplines, we encourage people to makethe surprising connections that lead to unexpectedcollaborations.

InspirationWhen we make surprising connections betweenpeople or ideas, it permanently expands ourperspective and transforms our sense of the possible.

A tradition ofexcellence

TEDMED 2013 happens at the Kennedy Centerand via real-time and on-demand simulcast.

TEDMED 2013 happens at the Kennedy Center and viaLive Simulcast in affiliated auditoriums around the world.TEDMED believes that the future of health and medicinewill be shaped by vital input from leading medical colleges,teaching hospitals, government agencies, and non-profitinstitutions. And so, in a spirit of collaboration andinformation sharing, the entire TEDMED event will bebroadcast free to these institutions.

Your institution can simulcast as much – or as little –of TEDMED as you choose. For example, you mightorganize a one-day event (a “TEDMED Day”) with twoor three 90-minute sessions (each session features fiveto seven speakers). Complement the TEDMED sessionswith your own speakers on topics of particular importanceto your organization.

Institutions that create a TEDMED Live event (real-timeor on-demand) for at least one day using an auditorium-style format are then permitted to offer access to allTEDMED sessions via individual laptops and tablets.

We also have a limited number of seats for Delegatesfrom our TEDMED Live affiliates to attend TEDMEDat the Kennedy Center at a courtesy rate. is is anopportunity to physically link the audiences and explorenew ways to leverage TEDMED.

Schedule TEDMEDLive with flexibility.

Your institution has a choice of two ways to accessTEDMED. You can experience each session of speakersas a real-time broadcast directly from the KennedyCenter as it takes place April 16-19. Or, if you live in atime zone where this is not convenient, you can accessthe program on-demand at any time through midnightof April 21 (i.e., midnight in your time zone). We offeryou this choice to enable our affiliates to schedule andprogram their events with maximum flexibility, nomatter which time zone they live in.

Each TEDMED speaker is individually powerful. Yet, inunison with other session presentations, individual talksbecome far more poignant. For this reason, we stronglyrecommend that each 90-minute session (comprising5-7 talks) be experienced in its entirety.

You are encouraged to invite complementary speakersto your stage and video record their talks. Use thisopportunity to discover new talent within your institutionor to explore areas in medicine of deep interest to you.

e best talks from TEDMED Live affiliates will beposted on tedmed.com, and the best of those may beinvited to speak at TEDMED 2014.

Amazing things happen when we’re open to new ideas.The ancients used mushrooms for medicinal purposes, but biologistPaul Stamets says we are still learning astounding new things about

them. His moving personal story brought TEDMED to its feet.
