"Great event! More please!"

Mark your calendars, TEDxKrakówLive is coming up!

Posted by anna on February 18, 2012, 19:02

As many of you know, the TED2012 conference will be taking place soon in California, from 27 February to 2 March 2012. Well, we're proud to announce that we will be screening a live stream of day two of the conference on Wednesday, 29 February, beginning at 5:30 pm, in our second TEDxKrakówLive event. The TED organisers say that we're in the midst of a dramatic reinvention of the ancient art of the spoken word; we’ve seen the surprising spread of the TED Talks online (over 500 million views in the last five years) and the explosion of TEDx events around the globe (over 3,100 in two years). TED2012 plans to celebrate this phenomenon and nudge it a further step forward. This year’s TED Conference theme is “Full Spectrum” and they’ll be exploring the rich use of multiple technologies, formats and approaches for the most powerful possible impact on an audience.

TEDxYouth@Kraków videos are up!

Posted by anna on February 17, 2012, 20:02

The first edition of TEDxYouth@Kraków was a TEDx event held by and for Kraków's young people on 26 November 2011 at the Siemacha Centre at Bonarka City Centre. The event featured some truly extraordinary young people who presented their original ideas to an audience of their peers, stimulating a discussion of what is most important to us: technology, education and science and how they combine to create bold and unique solutions. Now you can watch our entire collection of videos from the event, right on our YouTube page. If that's not enough for you, check out photos from TEDxYouth on our Flickr page!.

TEDxKrakówCinema on Tuesday!

Posted by anna on February 06, 2012, 21:02

It's another month, so that means it's time for another TEDxKrakówCinema. The second edition in 2012 will explore connections - how they influence where we live, how we work and what we do and how technology can help or hinder. We’re all connected in one way or another, even if we don’t want to be. And in ways that might not be immediately obvious. Join us on Tuesday, 7 February at 7 pm at Kino 18 (Floriańska 18, second floor) for an evening of debate, lively discussion and of course, TEDTalks!.

Illustrations from TEDxKraków 2011

Posted by anna on January 26, 2012, 22:01

While most of you were probably paying attention to our wonderful speakers during TEDxKraków 2011, a few of you may have noticed one man diligently doodling away in the corner during the conference. That man happened to be local artist, illustrator and animated filmmaker Andrzej Lichota. In addition to showing at numerous exhibitions, publishing several books and films and being the recipient of nearly a dozen prizes over the past decade, Andrzej drew the following illustrations for us during TEDxKraków, which we're happy to share with you today (click on each thumbnail for a larger version)!

About TED

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 25 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. The annual TED Conference invites the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes. Their talks are then made available, free, at TED.com.

The annual TED Conference takes place in Long Beach, California, with simulcast in Palm Springs; TEDGlobal is held each year in Oxford, UK. TED's media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily, and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide. TED has established the annual TED Prize.



What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDx[name], where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDx[name] event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
