February 15 LIVEEvent in Local Movie Theaters Presented by Fathom Events and BY Experience in Partnership with TED
For the first time ever, the opening night of TED's flagship annual conference will broadcast live to select cinemas nationwide, and the list of speakers is now confirmed:
With the runaway success of shows like Scandal and Grey's Anatomy, Shonda Rhimes has become one of Hollywood's most powerful icons.
When ABC kicked off its 2014 television season by devoting its Thursday night line-up to the Shondaland shows How to Get Away With Murder, Scandal andGrey's Anatomy, Shonda Rhimes -- already one of the most influential producers in Hollywood -- became arguably the single most powerful voice in television today. In 2015, ABC snapped up Rhimes' latest series, The Catch. Shondaland shows have the special ability to capture both fan devotion and critical attention - she's won everything from a Peabody Award to a People's Choice Award. Rhimes is known for her groundbreaking storytelling, her candor and humor in the face of her critics, and for never shying away from speaking her mind. She's also known for her social media savvy, and fans of her shows basically own Twitter on Thursday nights. Her first book, Year of Yes, was published in November 2015.
As Captain of Moonshots for X, Astro Teller oversees the secret projects that could reshape our lives in coming decades.
Astro Teller oversees X, Alphabets moonshot factory for building magical, audacious ideas that can solve concrete problems for millions of people through science and technology. As X's head, Teller has an unmatched vantage point from which to watch possible futures unfold. In addition to his day job shepherding Peter Pans with PhDs, Teller is on the board of several businesses including AI-based hedge fund Cerebellum Capital, Inc., and Flux.io, a startup reinventing how buildings are designed and built. He is also the author of two novels and co-author (with Danielle Teller) of Sacred Cows, a nonfiction work analyzing society's attitudes on divorce.
In India, AR Rahman is a household name. Now his infectious music is poised to capture the ears (and the hearts) of the rest of the world.
In India, AR Rahman is a household name. Now his infectious music is poised to capture the ears (and the hearts) of the rest of the world. While he's known in the West for scoring Slumdog Millionaire (which earned him two Oscars and two Grammys), in South Asia, film composer AR Rahman is a superstar. His music is featured in hundreds of movies, his recordings are among the best-selling releases in history, and his fans number in the billions. Rahman's film scores are an eclectic blend of Eastern classical, Western electronica and pop-culture touchstones in a musical m lange familiar to Indian film fans. But with appearances at the 2012 London Olympics and several successful global tours, his soulful music has spread far beyond the silver screen.
Acting on his mandate to move Bhutan into the 21st century, Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay is transforming his nation -- while maintaining its Gross National Happiness.
Tshering Tobgay went from civil servant to politician to prime minister -- all the while maintaining his star social media profile in one of Asia's most progressive emerging states. As the second democratically elected Prime Minister of Bhutan, Tobgay continues to emphasize his country's core value of happiness. Bhutan's acclaimed Gross National Happiness index prioritizes well-being over financial growth. But Tobgay also seeks to solve Bhutan's great challenges: unemployment, poverty, gaps in education and infrastructure. WIth a foundation of optimism, his administration and the country's fledgling democracy hope to become a paragon of stability in the developing world.
With his artistry and creativity, Bill T. Jones has inspired a generation of dancers, choreographers -- and audiences.
In 1982, Bill T. Jones co-founded the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company with his partner Arnie Zane. As the company's artistic director and choreographer, Jones has created more than 140 works, and in 2011, merged his company with New York's historical Dance Theater Workshop to create New York Live Arts. The company's 2015 piece Analogy/Dora: Tramontane is based on Jones' mother-in-law's recollections of life under the Nazi occupation of France.
Jones is a 1994 MacArthur Fellow; he received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2010 and the National Medal of Arts from President Obama in 2013. He has won two Tony awards for Best Choreography, for the Broadway musicals Spring Awakening in 2007 and Fela!in 2010. Jones is the author of a memoir, Last Night on Earth, and Story/Time,a reflection on his 2012 piece inspired by the work of John Cage.
Riccardo Sabatini applies his expertise in numerical modeling and data to projects ranging from material science to computational genomics and food market predictions.
Data scientist Riccardo Sabatini harnesses numerical methods for a surprising variety of fields, from material science research to the study of food commodities (as a past director of the EU research project FoodCAST). His most recent research centers on computational genomics and how to crack the code of life. In addition to his data research, Sabatini is deeply involved in education for entrepreneurs. He is the founder and co-director of the Quantum ESPRESSOFoundation, an advisor in several data-driven startups, and funder of The HUB Trieste, a social impact accelerator.
Cinema audiences will have the previously unimaginable opportunity to experience the complete opening night of TED's legendary annual conference along with the live audience watching from the TED theater in Vancouver, Canada. The Presidents' Day event
