TEDxSydney 2013
We live for ideas
Big ones. Small ones. Scary ones. Inspirational ones. 'Why-haven't-we-thought-of-this-before?' ones. Ideas are the engine that powers the world, and we're incredibly proud to be in the driver's seat for some of them. Our principal partnership with TEDxSydney aims to help bring these world changing ideas to life, and continue encouraging brilliant thinking.
TEDxSydney was held on Saturday 4 May at the Sydney Opera House in front of a live audience of over 2000 people. The event featured a selection of Australia’s leading thinkers, storytellers and performers.
