There is also the guy who is advocating the use of low level radiation to improve health. He is pictured on his website wearing radiation emitting glass beads around his neck.

I'd say that the acceptance standards are low. Some of the presenters seem to be involved in pseudoscience and others seem to be of generally low quality. I'm also questioning the wisdom of allowing only ten minutes per speaker. Most Ted talks seem to go a lot longer, and I would want more than a ten minute conversation on an interesting topic.

I really look forward to the low level radiation to improve talk, I've read his research and it is really interesting. I have two science/techy types who verify all the talks, so there is some verification. You can read about the submission and approval process at: http://www.krisconstable.com/ideawave-2012/ as well as in the Times-Colonist: http://www.timescolonist.com/Conference+swamped+wave+ideas/6... Ian is a lot more science than magic hand wavey then you may think; he's built a hydrogen assisted sailboat, and spoke at IdeaWave before on his rediscovery of nickel-iron batteries that the Thomas Edison battery company made disappear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO0-mGrWcjo along with a another few decades of inventions and innovation. I hope you get a chance to attend the conference and dialog with him!
