TEDxSydney 2013
TEDxSydney takes its big ideas to bigger digs.
Overview
It's always a big year for our local offshoot from the the global ideas-fest TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design). TEDxSydney is in its fourth year of bringing thinkers and listeners together. And this year it's grown from its usual venue at the Carriageworks to drag its thinkers and listeners to the airier spaces of the Opera House Concert Hall. It comes, as usual, in three parts: a cavalcade of awesome, expert and/or entertaining speakers, an audience of interesting, rich and/or powerful people paying to sit in the the main auditorium and the public at large outside, looking in.
We had our turn with rich and/or powerful when we talked to TED-runner Chris Anderson last year, but most of the fun from a TED event comes from ignoring the glitterati and focusing on the speakers on stage. There's a long list of free satellite events at large around Sydney this year, if you'd like to follow the action from outside the Concert Hall.
UPDATE: An earlier version of this article said that the Opera House Studio would be a screening site open to for public viewing on the day. It won't be. Concrete Playground apologises for the error. Customs House will be hosting a live site, outdoors on the day.
