reMarkable forms in-kind partnership with TED for TEDMonterey

At reMarkable, we believe in better thinking through technology, which is why we’re thrilled to be an in-kind partner with TED at its flagship TEDMonterey conference.

TED talks

If you’ve never heard of TED or its famous ”talks” before, here’s the lowdown: it’s a nonprofit organization devoted to sharing great ideas from inspired thinkers, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less) made accessible for all.

This year’s special event, starting today and running until August 4th, takes TED back to its roots, and — where the organization was founded and held its first annual conference. The dramatic California coastline will provide the backdrop for a collective intellectual endeavor.

Over the next four days, over 500 attendees will hear eight sessions of TED Talks, interviews, and extra surprises. Each guest will be invited to participate in a series of intimate discussions, discovery sessions, and activities centered on an exciting theme: The Case for Optimism.

They’ll be challenged to listen, absorb, and develop new ideas on how the world can collectively emerge from this difficult chapter in our history and find out if we can use the recent adversity to become stronger.

We couldn’t think of a more appropriate theme for the stellar lineup of speakers, which is why we’ve offered the attendees their own reMarkable 2, Marker Plus, and Book Folio.

The perfect companion

Our sincere hope is that our next-generation paper tablet will be the perfect tool for facilitating the flow of great ideas between the attendees. It’ll allow them to capture spontaneous thoughts sparked from vibrant conversations and record their own reflections on the talks without any distractions. Better still, once the event is over and everyone disperses, it should spread the seeds of knowledge nurtured within this very special environment — and help them blossom into action.

At reMarkable, we share a belief in the power of ideas that is the bedrock of TED. Changing the world is, surely, more than the work of a single conference, but we’re glad we can play a role in putting great ideas in the spotlight and helping brilliant minds think better together.
