TEDActive will recommend a course of activities for each intellectual explorer based on their personal goals, creative style and passionate interests. Central community members are there as Guides, helping every attendee navigate the myriad of opportunities to find their perfect path.

TEDActive is an opportunity to let your mind travel the world of ideas while watching the live-hosted TED2012 program in a comfortable, customizable space. When the talks are over, your conversations with other passionate people begin -- a chance to engage in inspiring discussions and projects.

TEDActive Projects are a central element of the TEDActive experience. Attendees sign up early for these projects, and many will invest serious time and thought. People can decide to dive head first into one project or dabble a little bit in several. Attendees will dream up, plan and execute six projects in all. In each case, the TEDActive community will come together around a specific topic or idea, channeling the energy of the group to address hard problems and spark initiatives around ideas shared and discovered at TED. On-site topic experts and facilitators will help advise and move teams toward the goals they establish during online discussions in the weeks leading up to TEDActive. On the ground, they’ll work together to turn those ideas into action.
