What is TEDx?
TEDx is a global program that lets local communities like ours host independent events with a TED-style vibe. It’s all about bringing people together to explore big ideas and spark meaningful conversations.
At our event, you’ll experience a mix of TED Talks videos and live speakers designed to inspire, challenge, and connect. While TED provides some guidance for the TEDx program, every TEDx event—including ours—is independently organised, giving it a unique, local flavor.
