TEDx Gateshead has arrived.

 

Connect are working with Gateshead Council and WIN to produce the TEDxGateshead event which is a direct live stream from the TEDWomen event held in Washington DC.

 

TEDWomen will take place on December 7th and 8th and we will be live streaming the event on Wednesday 8th December. TEDWomen will reveal:

 

Who are the women leading change?

What ideas are they championing?

How will they shape the future?

How women and men can work in concert with one another, orchestrating different but complementary approaches to ideas worth spreading. Due to the time constraints we will only be hosting the event on the 8th December.

What is TEDx?

 

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created TEDx, a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxGateshead, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxGateshead event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organised.

 

TEDxLive is a new extension of the TEDx program, launched by TED in 2010. TEDxLive events are built around the live webcast of the TED Conference. Instead of featuring local speakers or pre-recorded TEDtalk video, TEDxLive events enable TED enthusiasts all over the world to experience all 5 sessions of TEDWomen, over 25 live speakers, performers, tech demos and more over the span of 2 days.

 

TEDWomen

 

The cross-disciplinary, cross-generational program will focus on how women think and work, communicate and collaborate, learn and lead -- what this means and why it matters to all of us. Speakers from around the globe -- both men and women, from anthropologists to artists, scientists to soldiers, farmers to futurists -- will share their ideas in the classic TED format, creating a program that surprises and inspires.

 

Date: 8th December

Time: 12.30pm (registration) 1.30pm (start)
