TED's new program the Associate Membership allows a group of up to 10 people to gather and watch the TED conference together, using a high-quality live stream over the Internet. They charge $995 for the experience. At first glance, that may seem pricey. But with 10 people watching, it works out at $100 per person for 4 days of intense learning and inspiration (as compared with the $6000 people spend to attend live & $3750 to watch the Simulcast from Palm Springs per person).

The Associate Membership also entitles us to a year of the TED Book Club, access to the full conference livestream archive after the event, and DVDs containing conference highlights which we can share as we continue our TED related gatherings and may be even organize our local TEDX event soon.

Let us know whether you will be attending the entire or part of the event as well as your willingness to share the cost by contributing $100 for the total experience (payable ideally by cash or check).

ABOUT TED

TED.com has become a popular organization & web site whose mission is to share Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out in 1984 as a conference that gets sold out a year ahead of time, bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with the annual TED Conference in Long Beach, California, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK, TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks web site which offers the famous video TED Talks for free globally with more than 20 million views so far. The annual conferences in Long Beach and Oxford bring together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes). The speakers and subjects have been the source of incredible inspiration, innovation and global change on all levels. Since TEDsters believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. what has being built, is a clearinghouse that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world's most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other and apply those ideas glocally (locally AND globally).
