TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences -- the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh UK each summer -- TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize.
The TED Fellows program brings outstanding individuals who have shown unusual accomplishment, exceptional courage and moral imagination into the TED community. Designed to bring together young world-changers and trailblazers who have shown unusual accomplishment and exceptional courage, the TED2010 Fellows reflect both geographic and discipline diversity. From Israel to Brazil to Malaysia, these innovators excel in the technology, entertainment, design, science, film, art, music, entrepreneurship and nonprofit worlds. The group includes filmmakers, engineers, artists, scientists and musicians.
In addition to participating as full members of the TED2010 conference audience, each TED Fellow participates in a two-day pre-conference, where they receive world-class communication training, deliver a short TEDTalk, and collaborate with their peers, among other benefits. The Fellows also participate in the TED community throughout the next year, by telling their ongoing stories on the TED Fellows blog, being featured in the online Fellows directory and participating in a private social network.
I am extremely grateful. The experience has been invaluable! Please check my blog for details...

Sarah, 3 minutes after you met her Deepness, the subsea Goddess, I ran into you. You look like you had either been blessed by the Dalai Lama, or taken a straight shot of heroin. You were visibly staggering, overwhelmed and overcome....Sarah Jane Pell
Meeting my heroine Sylvia Earle was indeed both a blessing and a bolt of lightening experience in one...Thanks to Steve Beshara and glad you were there Michael!Steve Beshara
Sarah Jane, I am honored and grateful that I was there with you to provide the introduction. I felt like I was connecting one generation of ocean blue greatness to the next. If you recall, Sylvia was very delighted to meet you too. I had a sense that you appreciating her and her achievements made her feel her career more worthwhile. You have the torch now. :)
