——————————————————————————————Despre TEDxBucharest

În spiritul “idei care merită împărtășite”, TED a creat TEDx, o platformă de evenimente locale, organizate independent, ce adună oameni care împărtășesc o experiență tip TED. TEDxBucharest s-a alăturat inițiativei internaționale încă de la început, din 2009, când au luat naștere și conferințele locale din întreaga lume.

Despre TED

TED este o organizație non profit devotată ideilor care se ghidează după dictonul Ideas Worth Spreading. A început acum 25 de ani ca o conferință de patru zile ținută în California și a ajuns astăzi o conferință globală care anual  invită liderii lumii să-și prezinte ideile în 18 minute.
