A celebration of improvised conversation: Intellectual jazz.
Richard Saul Wurman, creator of the TED, TEDMED & the eg conferences, will celebrate improvised conversation in its most informative manner.
- No presentations
- No schedule
- No expensive tickets
Simply pairings of amazingly interesting individuals prompted by a question, generating a conversation. For 10 minutes to 50 minutes. And so it will go – conversations interlaced with threads of improvised music. An astrophysicist & a microbiologist. An actor & a playwright. A jazz musician & a classical one. An energetic exploration of the lost art of conversing.
The 100 most interesting individuals:
minds & musicians in improvised discourse
A live performance.
A tablet app.
A live stream.
The most innovative moments, the sparks of ideas, & fundamental truths come from conversations between two individuals. In the future, the truth will be our most valuable commodity. It is fitting that truth, a commodity that we most value and desire, is amazingly scarce.
If among all the buttons on your remote control there was one button called truth, wouldn't you push that button?
