Theme: Conceivable

The theme of this TEDx event is “conceivable”. The definition of conceivable is “capable of being imagined or grasped mentally”. TED is all about “ideas worth spreading”. Ideas can be very abstract things, but once they are understood and received by others, they can grow like a seed inside of a person’s mind, until they blossom into very tangible actions. Our speakers all touch on this theme in different ways. Some of our speakers show us how at one point they themselves conceived an idea and nurtured that idea into reality. Others tell us how we can better use the tools at our disposal, whether its technology or personal development hacks. Want to know more, come and join our event.

Leonardo da Vinci in 1480s invented a musical instrument called Viola Organista. However he never built it. For 500 years almost 200 attempts were made to bring this project to life, moreover none of them fully succeeded. Until now. In 2012, after 4-years-long work, Sławomir Zubrzycki, Polish pianist and constructor, built the first concert Viola Organista and started a new chapter of its history.
