TEDx Honolulu 2012 Program

The TED Prize is awarded annually to the greatest idea shared on TED, helping to combat poverty, take on religious intolerance, improve global health, tackle child obesity, advance education, and inspire art around the world.

This year, for the first time ever, the TED Prize was not awarded to an individual, but to an idea on which our planet’s future depends: the City 2.0.

Today, October 13, 2012, the TEDx platform will harness the power of people across the globe in hundreds of cities, featuring the brightest local minds and biggest hearts.

Speakers can focus on themes including culture, transportation, education, health and recreation, all elements whose presence will dictate the success of our future cities.
