The Future We Will Create…
February 22-25, 2006 Monterey, California

TED has always been a journey into the future. TED2006 will be the most ambitious journey yet. We’re assembling a truly extraordinary lineup of speakers, each of whom can shed light on at least one of the following questions:

WHO will be:
the next Frank Gehry?
the first human clone?
the first mass-market blogger?
the first human to live beyond 200?
the first nanotechnology billionnaire?
the cleric who can transform the rhetoric of Islam?
the leader who can inspire the world to end poverty?

WHAT will be:
the next big aesthetic trend in design?
the next breakthrough in search?
the next revolution in entertainment?
the 10-year future of warfare?
the 50-year future of religion?
the virtual world where millions of people spend more than half their waking time?
the idea that can save us from global warming?

HOW will we:
reinvent education in a post-Google world?
compose new music that is both fresh to our ears and soothing to our souls?
deal with the problem of ever-more-complex technologies delivering more frustration than joy?
redraw the relationship between the sexes when connection matters more than muscle?
use digital software to reinvent cinema?
figure out how 20,000 genes can make a human being?
prevent a crazed virus researcher from shutting down the global economy?
adapt to a world in which China rules?

WHEN will we:
carry our entire music and photographic collections with us on our wrists?
create a new political party online?
invent vaccines for malaria and AIDS?
explore another star’s earth-like planet?
decide definitively whether psychic phenomena are real?
get hit by the first terrorist nuclear weapon?
take steps toward true global government?

WHERE will you be:
February 22-25, 2006
that is more important
than learning the answers to some of these questions?
