We're off to TEDMED Tomorrow

Filed under: Medgadget Exclusive

Keep an eye on the blog this week, because tomorrow two of your editors head to TEDMED to feast on the latest and greatest in medical technological and cultural innovations. The line up of speakers and attendees is quite impressive, and for the rest of the week we'll be wandering around chatting up and interviewing as many people as possible in order to give you an inside view into the conference.

So what is it going to be like? TEDMED consists of 10 two hour sessions, each with around 5 or 6 speakers, scattered among 4 days on Coronado Island outside of San Diego. Interspersed between all of these sessions are breaks, lunches, and dinners to chat, network, and think about the future of medicine.

The speakers include the likes of Dean Kamen, Craig Venter, Peter Diamandis, Sanjay Gupta, and even David Blaine (presumably to tell us how we too can hold our breath for 17 minutes and 4.4 seconds). Let us know who you would like us to try and track down from the full list of speakers.
