TED, the forum that brings together innovative thinking in technology, entertainment and design, will for the first time be held at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival.

Hosted by Starcom MediaVest Group and Microsoft, TED@Cannes will also be the first industry-sponsored TED event and is the second installment in the TED@ series.

The first was TED@State held last year in Washington, sponsored by The Global Partnership Initiative, a government program launched by US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.

The invitation-only event will be held at the Microsoft Pavilion on June 21, 2010 during the Cannes festival week.
