Ted Turner is here! The CNN founder is sitting towards the back of the ballroom, blending into the audience, except for his colorful tie depicting flags of the world. During breaks in the conference, he is surrounded by fans who shake his hand and ask for pictures.

...But Ted said he's not doing any interviews. We'll see what he says Wednesday afternoon during the conference's "Tribute To Ted Turner..."
