Chris Anderson Is Giving TED Away to Whoever Has the Best Idea for Its Future
In an exclusive interview with WIRED, the British entrepreneur shares why it’s time to move on from TED.
I’ve been attending TED conferences on and off since the 1990s, when an eccentric architect named Richard Saul Wurman ran the event in a smallish theater in Monterey, California. After answering some questions about your vision, your willingness to reach a global audience, and, of course, proof that you are filthy rich, you might be among those few who will engage in long conversations with Anderson about how you will make TED’s future even more impactful and inspiring than its past. In recent years, he has passed off some of his duties to a CEO and other executives and has spent much of his energies on a TED philanthropic enterprise called The Audacious Project, which has raised over $1 billion, largely from superrich donors like MacKenzie Scott and Reed Hastings, for efforts like helping sub-Saharan girls pursue an education.
