A local version of the global movement called TEDx is being held in Auckland next month.
TED started out as a four-day conference in California 25 years ago and has since spawned off into local TEDx events, now held in 1200 cities worldwide.
A group of leading New Zealand scientists, artists, educators and technologists has been announced to speak at TEDx Auckland on Saturday October 6, 2012.
Those on the list include San Francisco-based physicist and political advisor Sean Gourley, physicist David Krofcheck, materials and biomedical engineer Michelle Dickinson, architect Andrew Patterson, and art director of Apropos and founder of the 100 Days Project Emma Rogan.
