TEDGlobal Webcast In Des Moines!

We hope everyone is enjoying their summer and is putting the inspiration and insight from TEDxDesMoines 2011 into action. As a special treat, we found out that we are allowed to webcast the full Wednesday lineup of sessions from TEDGlobal 2011

TED Global features four days of programming from Edinburgh, Scotland. We are able to offer this webcast of the Wednesday sessions as a special privilege from TED.
