In the spirit of Ideas Worth Spreading TED has created a program called TEDx, a series of local self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
TEDxSydney at CarriageWorks on Saturday 22 May 2010 will feature a selection of Australia's leading visionaries and storytellers showcasing their Ideas Worth Spreading LIVE to a group of thinkers ... as well as ONLINE to the world at large.
We’re thrilled to be able to announce that UTS:Business (the Business School of the University of Technology Sydney) has joined General Thinking as a Major Partner to bring TEDxSydney to CarriageWorks on 22 May 2010. The fit is perfect. The UTS:Business mission is supported by a vibrant, outcomes-oriented research environment and active engagement with business, the professions and community. UTS:Business thought leadership is also manifest by its Business21C initiative … promoting conversations about the future of business in the 21st Century.
We are working closely with UTS:Business on some interesting ideas for TEDxSydney. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, here’s a short video:
Also, and relevantly, UTS has engaged iconic architect Frank Gehry to develop a concept design for the University’s new Faculty of Business building as part of its UTS Campus Master Plan. Stay tuned for news on that front!
