Over the course of four days, TED and Vox will broadcast live interviews with the brilliant speakers and participants, led by Vox’s Dara Lind, Liz Plank, Phil Edwards, and me. We’ll talk to surgeon and journalist Atul Gawande about health care; David Miliband, CEO of the International Rescue Committee, about the international refugee crisis; and many more surprises. Each conversation will broadcast live on both Vox and TED’s Facebook pages.

Our first interview is kicking off soon, with Dara Lind interviewing Jorge Ramos on putting humans first in the immigration debate at 3:20 pm PST/6:20 pm EST on Facebook.com/TED and Facebook.com/Vox.

The Vox Video team will also be making a short series of produced videos featuring speakers and participants backstage, to be released at a later date.

We hope you’ll join us!
