Program TED@PalmSprings
In 2010, we return to Palm Springs, California, for an immersive simulcast TED experience. TED@PalmSprings offers the entire TED program in a more intimate setting, and includes live music, on-site speakers, and a number of Palm Springs-only surprises.
An intimate way to experience TED
Next February, 400 TEDsters will gather in beautiful Palm Springs to enjoy a live hosted simulcast of the full TED2010 program, with live speakers, music and performance onstage as well as the Long Beach program via satellite on crisp Sony monitors. TED@PalmSprings lets you take in all the TED speakers and performances in an intimate and relaxed setting -- we'll be taking over the newly revamped Riviera Resort & Spa. You'll enjoy spectacular evening events, live music and comedy, and terrific conversations, all in a stunning (and stylish) desert environment. And look for a few Palm Springs-only surprises!
All the TED goodies are included: a beautiful gift bag, post-conference DVDs, online networking with all conference participants, and the famous TED Book Club in the months leading up to the conference. The experience is 100% TED quality. But it isn't100% of the cost. A pass to TED@PalmSprings goes for the reduced rate of $3,750. Registration for TED@PalmSprings 2010 is open now >>
Great social events
In true TED fashion, there will be a full social program at TED@PalmSprings -- including an opening-night reception, spectacular dinner events and a Saturday-afternoon pool party. Plus breakfasts, lunches and the famous conversation breaks between sessions -- and some Palm Springs-only social events inspired by the Rat Pack-era vibe of the Riviera.
Hotel and travel
TED has reserved a block of hotel rooms in Palm Springs. These rooms are likely to sell out quickly. Please reserve early to avoid disappointment.

What attendees say
Still tingling, tweeting, blogging and think-tanking from TED 2009 (Palm Springs). It will take days if not weeks to let all the generosity of spirit and powerful insights shared by presenters to fully embed themselves in my brain! -- M.A. Greenstein
… as much as Long Beach must be exciting, I am in love with what goes on in Palm Springs, that’s where I’d like to be! I feel really close to the group and to the environment that you and the team help create. Only some 360 days to go! -- Eduardo Frias
... that week in Palm Springs w/ TED was a highlight in my long & storied life. -- John Doe
