I started dreaming about attending a TED conference in the early 90s when I read about it in the WIRED magazine. Since 2006 I am enjoying the TED Talks online. I am co-founder of TEDxStockholm, we were one of the first TEDx events, so far I have moderated 5 TEDxStockholm events and been a mentor for several other TED organizers.
