TEDMED is a global community of leading multidisciplinary thinkers and doers all passionate about shaping a healthier world. We are best known for our annual two and a half day gathering that brings together inspiring speakers, influential Delegates, innovative start-ups and a passionate global audience. In 2014, this audience spanned 140+ countries and over 200,000 participants representing those on the frontlines of health and medicine.
TEDMED curates a unique and provocative program featuring brilliant short talks and stunning artistic performances that reframe the way we think and inspire critical new possibilities for the future of health and medicine. TEDMED also offers evening entertainment and thought-provoking conversations with Delegates and Speakers all passionate about shaping a healthier world.
The result is an immersive experience that challenges us to reframe our mental models, ignite new thinking, energize our work and enlarge our worldview. We leave TEDMED imagining fresh possibilities and recommitted to our contribution to a healthier future.
