Theme: Renewable Reality

A truly global TEDxAntarcticPeninsula will take place in the last remaining wilderness on earth - Antarctica. This TEDx event captures a moment with expedition members of the 2041 International Antarctic Expedition (IAE). Expedition team members will gain firsthand knowledge of the continent’s fragile ecosystem, experience its unique wildlife and observe the magnificent landscape of Antarctica.

80 global leaders from 23 countries will take part in TEDxAntarcticPeninsula. The purpose is to engage, inspire, and share ideas to address the most pressing challenges of the world. The theme is Renewable Reality and will be completely powered by the sun proving if it can be done in Antarctica it can be done anywhere.
