A World Class Venue
We select iconic, historic and important venues reflecting the culture and heritage of each city to host the event locally and broadcast it globally. These world-class venues provide a setting for the TEDMED stage program, for The Hive’s innovation showcase, and for partner experiences and social interactions that are such an important part of TEDMED.
This iconic national monument is America's living memorial to President Kennedy, the most famous stage in its capital city, and home to TEDMED in D.C. Like President Kennedy, TEDMED believes, “We can do better.”
