Sailboat designer Vlad Murnikov has spent his life using radical and innovative ideas to challenge the sailing status quo, changing the way we see boats and their relation to speed. Vlad was the creative force behind the first ever Russian entry into the world's top ocean competition, the Whitbread Round the World Race. He went on to design both luxury yachts and powerboats for Ted Hood and high-performance sport boats, including the MX-Ray, the first single-handed skiff with an asymmetric spinnaker. Vlad's current project, SpeedDream, is a quest to build the world's fastest oceangoing boat.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
