Hello DIY bio Friends, 

I am a member of INK and we are searching for innovative ideas and breakthroughs in science and technology for our upcoming conference. If this pertains to you or someone you know, please get in touch with me. Below is information about our organization and what we do. 

I look forward to hearing from you.

The INK Conference

Our annual flagship product, the INK Conference, is in association with TED, the world's leading platform for spreading ideas. This conference attracts a few hundred of the world's most influential thinkers and doers to speak and attend. Artists, technologists, scientists, designers, entrepreneurs, archeologists, space explorers, activists, executives are some of the people that form part of the eclectic group that attend our events - an intellectual Mardi Gras, if you please. 

We also hold INK salons at universities, corporations, and other venues throughout the year. 


These ideas and stories are presented in between 3 and 18 minutes. They are crisp, curated and produced like a top quality documentary and then put on the web for the world to see for free.

Audience

400 of the most accomplished individuals across disciplines and geographies.  The audience is carefully selected to ensure meaningful interactions and facilitate exchange of powerful world-changing ideas. 

 

Speakers

INK's past speakers include known names like Bollywood actor Abhay Deol, film-maker James Cameron (Avatar), Matt Groening (Simpsons), spiritualist Deepak Chopra, designer Philippe Starck and Joi Ito (Creative Commons).
