TEDxSydney 2016

Overview

Switch your brain on and ready those tweetin' thumbs, as the seventh annual TEDxSydney event returns to the Sydney Opera House on Wednesday, May 25. The one-day program combines talks, live performances and a special film program, featuring its usual all-star lineup of speakers. Speakers include radical body activist Kelli Jean Drinkwater, London 2005 terrorist bombing survivor and M.A.D. for Peace founder Gill Hicks, and masculinity expert Dr. Michael Kimmel.

Unfortunately attendance for TEDx is through application only and the live audience is already at its max. But these are tech times we live in. The recently created TEDxSydney Satellites allow anyone to view and participate in the live talks via video conference. You can join one already planned, or host your own.

TEDxSydney began at Carriageworks in 2010 and has since become a massive annual event on the ideas calendar. The event will run alongside TEDxYouth for the second year running, which is curated by young people, for young people. Tickets for TEDxYouth are still available for purchase.
