TEDGlobal 2009 Countdown
By SEAN WOOD, Founder of Freeworld Media
It is with great anticipation and excitement that I will be attending the 2009 TEDGlobal conference in Oxford, England from July 21st-24th.
I am humbled by the opportunity to interact with people from around the globe and discuss ideas that will shape our world. During the next few weeks, I will use this blog to talk about the TEDGlobal speakers and events and what it will mean for Freeworld Media. The ideas gathered in Oxford will be brought back to Atlanta and implemented for the benefit of Freeworld clients.
In TED’s words, “It will feature four days of provocative talks, relevant discussions, technological boldness and amazing performances that will take us beyond the obvious. The program is designed to explore and make visible “The Substance of Things Not Seen” — this year’s theme.”
In this recent TED@State presentation, Clay Shirky talks about the transformed media landscape. We are in the midst of an amazing technology-based revolution and Mr. Shirky outlines the future of communications with exquisite clarity.
