Theme: "Bringing change"

We believe bright people should have an opportunity to talk in front of the crowd to share their ideas to motivate people, to create value and share useful lessons. Our local TEDx event can gather people with a shared purpose: bringing change by spreading ideas locally and globally for making the world a better place.
