Theme: INNOVATION: THINKING UPSIDE DOWN

The event x-rays counter-intuitive thinking which births innovations, disruptions and developments. In this context, culture is but an unchangeable foundation upon which a changeable model of innovations are built. To achieve counter-intuitive thinking, everything must be challenged, from the use of right hand to write to the use of police to maintain order; from textbooks to facebook; from science to arts; and from the rules of boardroom to the rules of bedroom. TEDxBodija 2015 recognises, celebrates, and showcases the quantum thoughts of men and women who have challenged intuition, theories and power.
