Theme: Recalibrate Reality

Join TEDxAMS, with your bubble, from the safety and comfort of your home or anywhere you want to watch on Monday, 08.02.2021.

Unwillingly and all of a sudden, our world has become a different place, our comfort zone has shifted away underneath our feet and this has led us to no other choice than to recalibrate and re-invent ourselves within this new reality. Because reality is not just something you perceive, meaning that it is what it is. It is something you create in your own mind and therefore, something that you can alter and have control over. Yes, you can be a change agent in your life. What we see in not a universal truth, it is not an objective reality even. What we see is a unique, personal, virtual reality. That is massively constructed by our brain.

At TEDxAMS, we ask you to stop, stand still and RECALIBRATE for just a little while.

During the event you’ll also be able to connect with the speakers and ask your burning questions. So grab this opportunity to connect, to think, to learn and most of all to reflect on your reality, because it is yours and yours only.
