Most speakers are well along in their careers before they take the TED stage. But you needn't be an elder statesperson to catch the attention of the TED audience. The under-30 crowd has contributed some of the most memorable moments.
Eva Vertes, a Princeton undergrad, shares her vision for a new direction in cancer research, while Ben Saunders talks about his epic solo ski trek to the North Pole, where he found a deeper understanding of climate change. Musical prodigy Jennifer Lin talks about the state of creative "flow" that allows her to improvise a moving piano piece out of five randomly suggested notes. Then watch the barely-30 Jeff Han get the crowd on its feet with a casually brilliant display of his new multi-touch interface.

Eva Vertes is one of my Top Three TED Speakers. Her young age aside (but can you really put it aside? She was just 19 when she made this presentation!), listening to her talk about a cure for cancer will give even the biggest skeptic hope.
