For 25 years, Chris Anderson Mastro is a humor, wisdom, and sometimes, the purity that is Ted. Since he won the small but influential annual conference “Technology, Entertainment and Design” in the 2000s, he in a celebrity, if sometimes ridiculed, the Conglumra “Ideas that Share Value” includes Includes a highly smuggled YouTube channel. Thousands of local licenses called TEDX, and archives more than a quarter of million negotiations, including Elon Mask, Monica Levinsky and of course Bono. There is TED podcasts, a TED radio show in NPR and a training program called TED-M.
Now he wants to give it all.
Today, he announces his intention to step down and delivers the whole cab of the best to everyone about what he is doing with it. He told me, “It looks like a Bonkers idea, except for everything that happened to Ted, because I have monitored that it happened that we leave something.” We lost the content, and that’s what Tedy was viral. We obtained this brand in the form of TEDX permits. When you control something else, you motivate your best to do your best. There are amazing things that Ted can do in the next season. And so I think it’s time to try it again. Get rid of and be amazed. “
Anderson says it’s not burned. But it’s 25 years long. He does not earn money from this transaction – he is rich, from the performance of technology publications in the 80s and 90s, and he never received salaries in TED. Despite the notion that Ted is past, he says the organization is in good condition. While membership is epidemic during the disease, the company’s finances have now improved. Its latest financial cases have been reported that a uniform balance sheet is about $ 100 million, and Anderson says Ted has $ 25 million in cash reserves. The seats (more for $ 12,500 in the pop) for a week later, are sold at 1500 custom seats in Vancouver, British Colombia, as always. Sam Altman will be in the building!
You want it? Check your bank account. Anderson wants to bring Ted to a new level. Who may be? An unpleasant default can be some of the superriers who prefer hearing from marine authorities, evolutionary anthropologists and “world spirit”-all speakers at TED 2025-because they are in the snake-L-Logo. Instead, Anderson predicts a university, one of the major humanitarian organizations, a major media media, which is looking for a brain version of the Fringe festival or even a large technology company or AI. (Imagine how former speakers welcome their negotiations to teach the next version of Gemini or Copilot.) He says a decentralized autonomous organization-an organized group organized by Blockchain from many TED STETERS-may maintain the current community . The idea seems to be far from mind, but some of the conversations you may find in the TED Stage Red Circle. He surprised him.
“There is an opportunity for a very broad and extensive knowledge, but with our current resources we can’t do it,” he says. “I just want to open the tent and see who can bring his copy of that perspective and resources to make it real. And part of me just loves the playful kind of playful. I really I don’t know what will happen.
There will be no Ted-Starts either, and this can cause pain. I attended the Ted conferences and left it since the 1990s, when a strange architect named Richard Saul Vermen performed the event in a small theater in Monterey, California. As the first TED participant, Anderson was so attractive that it bought the voting right and expanded its audience from 550 people in a theater to millions and turned the term “TED Talk” into a stereotype, for better Or worse. When I participated, I wrote the “Ted mode” dispatch that Anderson usually has a good humor, except in 2009 when I criticized him for not having much of an economic crisis. (He responded experimentally.) It would be strange in Ted without him, but then he would be more strange to him forever.
