Theme: Eclipse

TEDx Events are events where people gather for ideas, knowledge and enlightenment. People attend TEDx Events and leave a bit wiser, a bit more optimistic and a lot happier. And In a community that needs a line from a Hollywood movie to lift up its spirit, we say that Night is Darkest just before the dawn and the dawn is coming.

We know how much people can get affected by the shared experiences of others, what it means and how it looks like when people experience the thing themselves, so they can be able to decide their path! When people feel the change themselves, this is how they can develop by time, because, “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it”

We are lucky enough to have the chance to introduce our theme this year; ECLIPSE.

ECLIPSE is known as a natural phenomenon through it, an obscuring of the light from one celestial body by the passage of another between it and the observer or between it and its source of illumination.
However our Eclipse is different; In ECLIPSE, You will find about What is there but, not seen, What is affecting our life but, not known, You will find out how we are living the ECLIPSE. How we are the ECLIPSE.

And since we believe in life experiences, people will obscure the motivation, the pros and the cons from the person through the passage of the shared message between the speaker and the audience. This year we were very keen on letting people be a part of every talk.

So with a vision to connect leaders, decision makers and ideas together for a better community, society and a better Egypt. And with utmost pride and honor, TEDxAlRehab is pleased to invite you to its first TEDx Conference, its first line up and its first ECLIPSE. Where you can find people thinking in a different way and unleash embraced talents and thoughts, So let’s all be a part of it.
