Creative collaboration is the future, says Katie Couric.The respected journalist enlisted in the war on cancer after
the untimely passing of her husband. At TEDMED 2012, Ms.Couric told attendees that researchers must share wisdom,
perspective and even tissue samples.
Dear friend of TEDMED,

Now your organization can host an event of this caliber, cost-free.
TEDMED is the exclusive gathering where world-class doers and thinkers sharetheir vision of the future of health and medicine. People like E.O. Wilson, CraigVenter, Katie Couric, Dean Kamen, Sanjay Gupta, Billie Jean King, and thedirectors of the FDA, CDC and NIH.

You can choose to host TEDMED Live for one day…two days…or allthree and a half days of our April 16-19, 2013 event. Providing lunch on-site foryour local attendees will encourage them to make surprising connections amongpeople and ideas. During programming breaks, feel free to showcase your ownlocal, in-person speakers, too.

TEDMED is a good place to start a revolution.So said Sandeep Kishore, a young Harvard-educated doctor who urgedmedical schools and med students worldwide to examine “the causes ofthe causes” of disease, including social and economic factors.

Every year for the past 25 years, TED has celebrated“ideas worth spreading” in the fields of technology,entertainment, and design. TED Talks have been watchedone billion times worldwide. TEDMED celebrates thosefields too but with emphasis on health, medicine, andscience.
