TEDXSydney 2017

Overview

Following a string of innovative and dynamic annual seminars at the Opera House, 2017's TEDXSydney event is moving house. Brand-new venue, ICC, at Darling Harbour is set to accommodate a record number of attendees for a vibrant day of talks, films, music and debate on June 16.

The eclectic first round of speakers includes comedian, musician and digital content creator Jordan Raskopoulos, circus performer and former Paralympic swimmer Sarah Houboult, self-made billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes and Bronwyn King, a radiation oncologist battling the global tobacco industry. Stolen generation member, esteemed actor and ex-heroin addict Uncle Jack Charles will also speak, alongside body-image expert Scott Griffiths.

With 'unconventional' as this year's theme, and commanding performances from Sarah Blasko, Yolngu performer Gawurra, and genre-spanning Papua New-Guinea-born artist Ngaiire, this engaging and imaginative event is HIIT for your brain.

Application to attend is through online registration only and a limited number of concession tickets are available. Alternatively, you can stream the event live from your couch with a bowl of microwave popcorn on the TEDXSydneySalon website.
