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. We will be airing the Wednesday, 12 June session beginning at 5 pm, and our venue for the evening will be the large hall of Forum Przestrzenne in the historic Hotel Forum, ul. Marii Konopnickiej 28. The sessions are titled Money Talks, Listening to Nature, World on its Head and Regeneration, and we will have discussions and chances for interaction between each of the sessions.
While we will only be screening a portion of TEDGlobal, you can find out about the entire four-day conference and all of the speakers by reading our TEDGlobal 2013 preview on the TEDxKraków blog. And also, the broadcast of the TEDtalks from Edinburgh is not the only attraction we’ll have for you at TEDxKrakówLive. Among other things, you’ll be asked again to bring a book, a movie or CD that had inspired you or changed your life and exchange it. As we discovered at TEDxKrakówLive in February, you really enjoyed the “Exchange of Inspirations” interaction, and we want to give you the opportunity to share some more!
