The popular TED conference which typically focuses on technology and innovation is scheduled for April 10th through the 14th in Vancouver this year.
The conference is set to have more than 64 speakers, including Al Gore, Bill Gates and Elon Musk.
The conference is open up to the public, although tickets don't come cheap. The lowest option ticket option was $5,000, which covered the entire conference, but that option is already sold out. Currently the only options available to attend in person come in a hefty $25,000 or a 5-year membership at $250,000.
However, like all TED conferences, each session will be available to stream for free online.
Elon has spoken at TED conferences twice in the past. Once in 2013 in the earlier days of Tesla and again in 2017. Both appearances where performed in an interview-style instead of a keynote.

This year's conference is focusing on the future and about how much the world has changed since the last TED conference happened nearly three years ago.
"A lot has changed since we last gathered in Vancouver for TED three years ago. We return not for more of the same, wonderful though that was, but to celebrate a new era. The future beckons with extraordinary possibilities we couldn’t have dreamt of. In medicine, in AI, in clean energy, in the ways we work, the ways we learn, and in the fundamental economic and social systems that underpin everything else.
Come and be part of something extraordinary."

A schedule hasn't been released yet, so we don't know which day Elon Musk will present or what the format will be like. The keynote or inteview could be similar to what we've seen in the past and focus on improving human life and ensuring the survival of our species. It'll likely touch on many things Elon works on, such as NeuraLink, SpaceX, Starlink and Tesla.
