Going to TED Global

Now, here is something I have a range of feelings about. I am attending TED Global from tomorrow, at Oxford - the first TED outside the US.

It features an outstanding range of speakers, from all disciplines - nominally "Technology, Entertaintainment, Design" - but also "Business, Arts, Science". Just the kind of mixture I really enjoy, though I don't always understand.

It is a unique event, fast paced, eclectic, thought provoking etc. etc. - and it gives the opportunity to meet with good friends which is always fun. Of course it's great to be in Oxford again .... so I feel very lucky to be going ;-)

On the other hand, people "posing" (even semi-accidentally) is always hard to listen to. And, more to the point - can we go beyond talk, spread the big ideas and get action on a wider stage?

Let's see how the blog unfolds ....
