TED Active | TED Active 2011 takes place at the Riviera Resort in Palm Springs, February 28 to March 4, 2011. During TED Active 2011, a group of people will convene in Palm Springs, California, to exchange ideas, meet one another and experience a live simulcast of TED 2011: The Rediscovery of Wonder. TED Active brings together global leaders — people who make a difference in their communities and their professions — to interact and learn from one another, while absorbing TED2011. TED (Technology Entertainment and Design) is a global set of conferences hosted by the non-profit Sapling Foundation, formed to disseminate ideas worth spreading.
