TedXBrisbane

Overview

TED Talks are the largest international platforms for innovators and ideas people. Now the slightly lower key, independent offshoot TEDx is coming to Brisbane.

TEDxBrisbane aims to spread ideas, entertain, educate and inspire the thinkers to become the doers. It does it through short, powerful talks of 18 minutes or less on just about any topic which garners passion from within. In more than 100 languages, all around the world, independent TED talks — known as TEDx events — help to spread ideas on a global scale.

The speakers for 2014 include artist CJ Hendry, nomadic foodie Dr Fiona Reilly, brand brainiacs Marianne Harvey and Cristian Staal, and six-year-old surfing and skating wunderkid Quincy Symonds, to name a few. Tickets are sold out, but keep an eye on the website for videos.
