TEDMEDLive2013Bring TEDMED to Your Organization…at no charge.

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 TEDMED,

What if your institution could host talks by 20 of the world’s most importantleaders in health and medicine – all on a single day? !e cost would be millions.But the inspiration and impact would be worth every dollar.

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

TEDMED is the exclusive gathering where world-class doers and thinkers sharetheir vision of the future of health and medicine. People like E.O. Wilson, CraigVenter, Katie Couric, Dean Kamen, Sanjay Gupta, Billie Jean King, and thedirectors of the FDA, CDC and NIH.

!anks to the magic of TEDMED Live, you can bring our dazzling event to yourlocal auditorium in a realtime simulcast of our exclusive Kennedy Center stageprogram. You can choose to host TEDMED Live for one day…two days…or allthree and a half days of our April 16-19, 2013 event. Providing lunch on-site foryour local attendees will encourage them to make surprising connections amongpeople and ideas. During programming breaks, feel free to showcase your ownlocal, in-person speakers, too.

Attending TEDMED on-site typically costs $5,000 per person. Because yournon-profit organization is a vital member of the health community, TEDMED Liveis available to you with all costs underwritten by our generous sponsors andcorporate affiliates.

You don’t have to spend millions to host a million-dollar event in your ownbackyard. TEDMED will energize your community with the biggest names andmost exciting ideas in health and medicine. Shouldn’t you be part of theTEDMED 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 watchedone billion times worldwide. TEDMED celebrates thosefields too but with emphasis on health, medicine, andscience.

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 between ideas, it permanently expandsour perspective and transforms our sense of thepossible.

A tradition ofexcellence
