EG was founded by Richard Saul Wurman, the mastermind behind TED Conferences which sought to gather a "group of remarkable people" to exchange "ideas of incalculable value.” EG seeks to recreate that dream conference by hosting the most unusual and creative cross-section of inventors, entertainers, artists, scientists, rising stars and living national treasures.
