Bill's Excellent TED Adventure

Former President Bill Clinton is one of three people who have been awarded the 2007 TED prize, an annual award given by the Technology, Entertainment and Design conference to individuals whose work has had and will have a powerful and positive impact on society.

The award, announced Monday evening at a reception in San Francisco, was conceived two years ago by TED conference curator Chris Anderson to recognize remarkable people who have the ability to change lives. It provides each recipient with $100,000 and the chance to ask for help from the TED community -- leaders in the worlds of business, science, politics and the arts who gather each year in Monterey, California, -- in achieving one grand wish to change the world.
