Went to the TED conference in Oxford this week whilst working in the UK and it was fantastic. Without a doubt, the best conference I have ever been to. Everyone was there to share ideas which was very refreshing. After watching around 100 talks in 4 days I am going to need a while to process my thoughts. Met some brilliant people doing amazing things. For those of you who are not aware of TED, it stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design.

 

The TED.com website is a great resource of inspiration.

Here are a couple of my favourite talks from the conference I attended:

Bertrand Piccard also made a great presentation on how he is aiming to fly around the world in a solar-powered aircraft. This talk will be published on TED.com soon I imagine.
