Technology Entertainment Design) is an annual conference previously held in Monterey, California, USA but as of 2009 will be held in Long Beach, California, USA.
TED...It defines its mission as "ideas worth spreading", and selected talks given at TED are available free on its website. Its lectures cover a broad set of topics: science, arts, design, politics, culture, business, global issues, technology, and entertainment.
The speakers are from a wide variety of communities and disciplines[1][2] and have included such people as former US president Bill Clinton,] Nobel laureates James D. Watson, Bono which I have attached on the link above, and Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page. This sort of blew me away and you can rent the DVD that covered the 2005 TED Conference directed by Daphne Zuniga. Check it out. Click on the title above
TED was founded by Richard Saul Wurman and Harry Marks in 1984 and was held annually from 1990. The membership model is now an annual membership fee of $6,000, which includes attendance of the conference, club mailings, networking tools and conference DVDs. Kathy Griffin docu show shows one episode where Rosie O'Donnell is begging her to get her into the conference through her boyfriend former Apple guy, Wozniak.

About Me
- Sharon Suh
- I worked as photo editor for the last 14 years at various editorial magazines such as Vanity Fair, InStyle, GQ, Glamour,Bon Appetit and most recently Los Angeles Magazine. I took a 6 month break after 911, and decided to get a culinary degree from the French Culinary Institute. After completing this program, I moved to LA for Bon Appetit Magazine to do redesign bringing a fresh new approach to food in a modern way. Three years later, I thought it was time to travel to some of the places we were writing about so I quit and did just that. I got lucky when I got back, and got the job as the photo editor Los Angeles Magazine which I recently left to spend some time with my dad who was recently diagnosed with colon cancer. After 6 months of chemotherapy, and now being cancer free, I am going to spend the next year doing things that I love even if its not the smartest thing to do during a semi-recession. Life is short. This blog. I hope you have fun reading some of the things I have featured and also, check out my photography website at sharonsuhphotography.com.
