TEDxSydney Youth – CTRL > SHIFT

Date:
29 August 2024

Venue:
Riverside Theatres, Corner Market & Church St, Parramatta

Coming of age in a world with so much change and uncertainty, the next generation are redefining the future. 

As the ground shifts beneath our feet — what will our future look like when we hand over control to the next generation of leaders, change makers and visionaries? What technologies, challenges, cultures and innovations will define our lives in the future?

Faced with many new challenges and questions that the grown-ups of today don’t seem to have the solutions for — from the spiralling cost of living to the existential threat posed by climate change — how does the next generation envision a future for themselves once they’re in control?

As the next generation primes itself to take the reins, it’s time to see the world through their eyes. Come to TEDxSydney Youth 2024 to hear from the leaders, the visionaries, the voices of the future. 

The theme of TEDxSydney Youth 2024 is CTRL > SHIFT

Young people will be in control — and shift the world as we know it.
THERE’S A CONTROL SHIFT COMING
