Can’t wait for TED’s 2014 conference? Guess what – we are bringing two sessions straight from Vancouver to Krakow on March 19 long before they’re available on TED.com!
TED’s 30th anniversary conference is set to better understand how the most significant developments from the last 30 years will shape our future. “The Next Chapter” brings some of the most intriguing speakers of all time to TED’s main stage as well as to five special All-Stars sessions during which these speakers will expand on their ideas and join audience in breakout groups for further discussions.
TEDxKraków will stream two of the sessions on Wednesday, March 19. In addition, in the spirit of bringing positive change to our local community, we also prepared some fun activities for Wednesday’s afternoon. We will start at 4pm at Klub Pauza with an activity designed to select local nominees for the TED Prize. At 5pm, we will stream Session 4: Wish. The speakers for this session include Zak Ebrahim, peace activist inspiring to reject path of violence; Charmian Gooch, activist against corrupted exploitation of natural resources; Bill and Melinda Gates, two philanthropists and founders of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; and Sting, composer, singer, author, actor, activist.
After this session, we will have another TEDxKraków activity and at approximately 7:45pm, we will stream one of the All-Star sessions: Beauty and the Brain. Here, you will hear from a 14-year old nuclear scientist that wants to save our seaports from nuclear terror, a Harvard psychologist researching true happiness, an advertising guru designing cutting-edge interactive campaigns, and many more.
This will be one truly inspirational afternoon! The entry is free, but the number of seats is limited so please register at: https://tedxkrakowlive.evenea.pl/.
