Watch the opening session of the legendary TED Conference for the first time on the big screen on February 15 at The Ridgefield Playhouse
The most spectacular evening awaits millions of TED fans across the country – it’s the opening season of the TED conference for the first time on the big screen! For the first time ever, the global phenomenon known simply as TED — a thriving movement propelled by ideas that are transforming the world — is coming to cinemas worldwide in partnership with Fathom Events and By Experience. On Monday, February 15 at 8 p.m. AAA Northeast Live in HD Series @ The Playhouse will give fans the previously unthinkable opportunity to experience the "opening night" of TED's legendary annual conference, alongside its equally legendary VIP audience.
Hosted by TED's curator Chris Anderson, the approximately 90-minute theatrical screening of this event will debut the first evening of TED2016: Dream (taking place in Vancouver, Canada from February 15-22), featuring world-renowned thinkers, artists and storytellers who will share their "ideas worth spreading" about the greatest dreams we are capable of dreaming. What emerges is a spirit of wonder and optimism that represents the world at its best. The “opening night” at TED 2016 will be a one of a kind opportunity to join in the experience with the 1,200 attendees in Vancouver – the world’s leading thinkers and doers who have won every international prize of excellence from Nobel Laureates, to Pulitzer Prize authors, to Oscar winners. You don't come out of the TED theater back into the mundane world. The world just beyond the doors is super-charged with potential, significance, serendipity. In a way, it's radically energizing.
