The [TED conference](http://www.ted.com/) (themed "The Rediscovery of Wonder") is taking place this week in California. Thanks to Kansas City [digital marketing agency VML](http://www.vml.com/) and [The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art](https://peo.nelson-atkins.org/show.asp), hundreds of people in Kansas City will be watching today's TED sessions through a live video simulcast. And in the spirit of my post about [live event tweeters and bloggers warranting "press passes"](https://www.brainzooming.com/?p=4458), the VML team is providing me access to outlets and Wi-Fi in order to actively document today's TED simulcast.

While a strictly video TED event will obviously be a different experience than [last summer's in-person TEDxKC event (which spawned nearly a week's worth of blog posts)](https://www.brainzooming.com/?p=4242), I fully expect a creative burst from the [four TED sessions simulcast today here in Kansas City](http://www.ted.com/tedx/events/2257)! Here's the day's TED agenda, with session times (Central Standard Time):

The setup available onsite will determine what the specific Brainzooming content creation plan will be. I'll likely be live tweeting either on my regular [@Brainzooming](http://www.twitter.com/brainzooming) Twitter account and/or my live Twitter account at [@BZLiveTweets](http://www.twitter.com/bzlivetweets). If you're interested in following the activity during the day, look for the overall [#TED hashtag](http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23TED) on Twitter as well.

If you're at The Nelson for today's sessions, tweet or DM me! - * **[Mike Brown](https://www.brainzooming.com/?page_id=1197)*
