TEDxWanChai
TEDtalks have become somewhat of a phenomenon since launching in the 1980s, sharing “ideas worth spreading” and providing knowledge and inspiration to the world. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design, and TEDx events were developed as local, self-organized talks that bring people together to share TED-like experiences.
This Saturday sees TEDxWanchai at the Hong Kong Arts Centre, running with the theme of 'Charitable Impact'. Brilliant, talented and successful speakers will share their real-life experiences about how they strived to make the world a better place. We’re particularly looking forward to the TEDx talk from Freddy Law – he left his job at Google to become a social entrepreneur and now trains students to start social projects in their local communities. The lovely Jocelyn Luko, Time Out’s cover model from our 3rd anniversary issue, will be MCing the event.
Note that TEDxWanchai is by invitation only, but email ticketing@tedxwanchai.com to try and request a pass to their 2012 event. If you were lucky enough to attend, let us know which TEDx talk you enjoyed the most.
August 6, 9am-1pm, Hong Kong Arts Centre – agnès b. CINEMA
