Blown out by the innovative idea of F1GF2, Chris Anderson curator of TED revealed that F1GF2 needs to be showcased at the TED conference to be held between Feb 9 to Feb 13. TED is all about ideas worth spreading and this is an idea that needs to be spread across the globe felt Chris.
It is very rare to see an idea that brings together Technology, Entertainment and Design together in one platform. This idea has gone one step forward and also integrated human emotions making it unique of its kind. This also gels well with Ted's theme of "What the world needs now". More than anything else what the world needs now is love and fun. Love gives us hope and hope gives us the strength to overcome challenges said a visibly moved Chris.
We would have loved to have him at Palm Springs but given his busy schedule with F1GF2 it would be tough on him to make it this time, we hope to have him with us for the next TED event added the curator of TED.
A fund raising event is also being planned for this noble initiative by having a gala dinner the day after the TED event. Coincidentally it happens to be Feb 14, Valentines day.
Sci-Fi movie director James Cameroon who is also a speaker at TED said that it is initiatives like this that remind us the spirit of mankind. Reliable insider sources reveal that his next movie will be based on F1GF2.
Update1: F1GF2 officials said that Kiruba Shankar who is attending Ted Palm springs has been suo moto (means without consultation) appointed to collect the forms that attendees of the conference would like to handover personally.
P.S: Kiruba if someone asks for your opinion about me, please have some good things to say. I know there are very few, but I would like to remind you that the next TEDxChennai organizers meet we plan is at the crocodile park and I hear crocodiles love people with long hair. Nah that is not a threat.
