(P) Ideas are the agents of change in an interconnected world - TEDx Bucharest 2015 | November 7th | Auditorium Pallady

Changers, makers, risk-takers: we all have within the power to make a difference in our lives and that of the ones around us. This is why Interconnected is the name of the game at this year’s TEDx Bucharest event. As we grow closer and closer in a rapidly changing world, we begin to see how one small action can trigger a worldwide phenomenon. From social networks to social enterprises, we look at how innovation and sharing bring about massive results. Join the movement on November 7th at Auditorium Pallady and see how the ideas of a few can make a difference for so many. For the past 7 years, TEDx Bucharest has been a platform that promotes and sparks ideas with the power to ignite change in the society. Every year, 18 of the most important voices from across the world come together in a day-long event where their unique vision is shared and explored. As part of the TEDx independently organized TED conferences, the event aims to become an instrument designed for positive change and development in the local and national community of thinkers and doers. Some of the speakers in TEDx Bucharest 2015 include: Adriana Istrate – Banking consultant and ultra-marathon runner.
