111 new and past TED Talks speakers at TEDSummit 2016 (registration is open)

The number is 111: One hundred and eleven past and new TED speakers will be participating in our newest conference, TEDSummit, happening in Banff, Canada, 26-30 June 2016. You are invited to join us!

Some of the most popular TED speakers of all time, including Dan Pink, David Gallo, Esther Perel, Kelly and Jane McGonigal, Pico Iyer and dozens more will be joined by brand-new voices including food innovator Josh Tetrick, forest biologists Suzanne Simard, environmental writer Emma Marris, energy experts Joe Lassiter and Michael Shellenberger, blockchain researcher Bettina Warburg, global affairs writer Jonathan Tepperman, empathy scientist Abigail Marsh and more.

About half of these speakers will take the stage to give major TED Talks on topics ranging from advanced digital technologies to climate change to surveillance and transparency … from relationships to brain microscopy … from trust to what humans might look like in 200 years

These 111 speakers will also join — and often lead — workshops and participatory sessions. Look, among the more than 100 sessions, for workshops on the ethics of artificial intelligence, and on the fragility of global megacities … brainstorms on what the TED community might do to help confront the refugee crisis, or on the idea of a female utopia … master classes on social storytelling and on how to think like a scientist … a walk in the woods guided by a forest biologist … even a hands-on genetic manipulation lab.

And there will be planned and unplanned surprises, and of course, outdoor activities in the gorgeous scenery of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

There are a few seats left to attend TEDSummit. You can find more information and apply here >>
