After several days of decidedly non-summer-like weather here in Kraków, we were lucky to have at least a lack of rain if not all-out sunshine leading up to TEDxKrakówLive yesterday afternoon. Perhaps the lack of raging thunderstorms inspired our audience to venture out to Forum Przestrzenie en mass, though we like to think that the quality of the TED Global speakers they would see had something to do with it. We began with only a slight delay and tackled some heavy subjects right out of the gate: income inequality, depressions and recessions, preventing the apocalypse, the inflated power of ratings agencies, and the misperception of government innovation, amongst others, in the day's first session, called "Money Talks". If all that sounds too serious, soon enough professional pickpocket Apollo Robbins came out on the TED Global stage and proceeded to divert our attentions (while "borrowing" some wallets). Afterwards, Toby Eccles presented a business model for real social change, from prisons to school systems.

Exciting things are happening here at TEDxKraków HQ. First, you may have already heard yesterday's big announcement about the theme of this year's conference: Make! While we are certainly looking forward to that event in October, we're currently excited about this month's live webcast of TEDGlobal 2013. This year's theme will challenge us to pause for an instant and “Think Again” when faced with a fast-paced world that can disorient us with its enormity of technological and social changes. Above: The eerie Hotel Forum will be our setting for this year's TEDxKrakówLive. The TEDGlobal conference will take place 11-14 June in Edinburgh in Scotland, but you can watch it right here in Kraków at TEDxKrakówLive.

It’s time for another inspiring TEDxKrakówCinema evening! This time, we'll talk about what's happening in the city. We will look at urban initiatives - see how FabLabs and other labs work, where "hackers" and "makers" solve problems with new and old technologies while having a lot of fun doing it. We will talk about some grassroots initiatives that are taking place in Kraków such as Hackerspace Kraków or newly opened „Wytwórnia. ” We'll have a workshop focused on bringing back the culture of DIY - Do It Yourself - and together we will explore how it changes our lives, both locally and globally. The guest for June’s TEDxKrakówCinema event will be Jacek Złydach - blogger, active member of Hackerspace Kraków, technology coordinator of the Quantified Self Kraków initiative, and, as he proclaims himself, the"3D printing Do It Yourself evangelist.
