Al Jazeera is at the heart of the world’s big issues, events and trends. We operate at the intersection of ideas and the constant change in how they are presented and consumed. With staff hailing from over 50 different countries - from the front of the camera to behind the scenes - our people and their stories make Al Jazeera, the media network for a more diverse and balanced world.

That’s why on June 15th, we are bringing the TEDx to Al Jazeera. A day to celebrate the diversity of our people, their experiences and passions, we hope to uncover the key insights and success factors that have made Al Jazeera the leader it is.
