For 25 years, Chris Anderson was the maestro in intelligence, wisdom, and sometimes, Ted. Since assuming matters in the small annual conference, but the influencer for “technology, entertainment and design” in 2000, he built it in a group of “ideas that deserve participation” that includes the YouTube channel that was largely smuggled, if it mocks the ridicule at times, includes YouTube channel, which was largely trafficking, thousands of localized gatherings called TEDX, and the archive Elon MuskMonica Lewinsky, and of course Bono. There is TED PODCASTS, a TED radio program on NPR, and an educational program called TED-ED.
Now he wants to give her everything.
Today is Declare To step down from non -profit organizations and hand over the entire cabin to those who participate in the best idea of what to do with it. He told me: “It seems that the idea of Bonkers, with the exception of everything that happened at all TED since I indicated that. It happened when we give up something.” “We have given the content away, and this is what made Ted Virusi. We gave the brand in the form of TEDX licenses. When you give another person control of something, you give them the motivation to do his best. There are amazing things that can be done in the next chapter. So I think that It is time to try the same thing again.
Anderson says he was not burning. But 25 years long. The money will not earn on the deal – he is the wealthy in any case, from the management of technical publications in the eighties and nineties – and he did not pay a salary in Ted. Although Ted imagined has passed she hasHe says the organization is in good condition. While the membership declined during the epidemic, the company’s financial affairs have now recovered. that it The latest financial deposit Public budget reports equivalent to about $ 100 million, and Anderson says that Ted has $ 25 million in cash reserves. He adds that the seats (which are mostly sold for $ 12,500 for pop) for the conference that lasted next week, at the 1500 -seats specially designed in Vancouver, British Columbia, has been sold, as is always the case. Sam Taman It will be in the building!
Want it? Check your bank account. Userson wants to transfer someone from Ted’s money to a new level. Who may be? The non-happy default can be some billionaires who prefer to listen to the marine trustee, evolutionary anthropologists, and “global souls”-all speakers in Ted 2025-from shedding in Mar Lago. Instead, Anderson is a university, one of the major charitable organizations, a major media outlet, or a city that seeks a brain version of the FRINGE festival, or even a large technology or Amnesty International. (Imagine how former speakers will welcome their conversations that are used to train the next version of Gemini or Copilot. This idea looks out of reach, but also some conversations that you may find in the red circle in TED Stage. Surprise for him.
“There is an opportunity to bring knowledge on a large scale, but with our current resources we cannot do it alone,” he says. “I just want to open the tent and find out who can bring its own version of that vision and resources to make it real. And part of me loves a kind of sudden, fun of it. I really don’t know what will happen.”
You will not also cause some anxiety. I have been attending and stopping TED conferences since the 1990s, when an eccentric architect named Richard Saul Wormman operated the event in a small theater in Monterrey, California. As present for the first time in Ted, Anderson was so charm that he bought the privilege and extended his fans from 550 people in the theater to millions, which made the term “TED TALK” in clichés, for the better or for the worst. When I attended, I wrote the “Ted Case” that I send Anderson usually takes good humor, except for time in 2009 when I criticize him There is not a lot of content about the economic crisis. (he Test On the stage.) It would be strange in Ted without it, but then it would be strange to continue forever.
