If creativity is a collaborative exploration of possibilities, then it can be said that science, technology, and design are its enablers. TED, together with its partners frog and Intel, invite you to participate in the seventh TEDSalon in London, to hear stories of technology turning ideas into action, science expanding our understanding, design opening new directions, and even more possibilities. They will be shared by a dozen speakers. The TEDSalon will also be an opportunity to continue the conversation with other TEDsters, and to follow up on our recent TEDGlobal 2012.
