Tickets to TED cost $8,500-$30,000, but you can experience one day of it for free! We will present the realtime proceedings of one day of the TED 2016 Conference!

The event will be screened on a large projector via Livestream, and will take place in a private room of a restaurant. They’re being gracious enough to host us for free — with the understanding that attendees will purchase food and drink during their time enjoying the conference.

To help in our planning, please register for each session you plan to attend. Below is the schedule.  For more details about speakers, visit the TED Website.

Reminder about the food + beverage requirement:

Again, please note:  The event is “free”, but it is being hosted by a bar/restaurant, which expects that our participants will buy food + beverages throughout the day.  Don’t come unless you’re comfortable with a “two-drink minimum”, or to eat lunch or dinner at some point.
