TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design)

is a media organization which posts talks online for free distribution, under the slogan "ideas worth spreading". TED was founded in February 1984 as a conference, which has been held annually since 1990.

TED's early emphasis was technology and design, consistent with its Silicon Valley origins, but it has since broadened its focus to include talks on many scientific, cultural, and academic topics

TEDx conferences

A TEDx event is a local gathering where live TED-like talks and videos previously recorded at TED conferences are shared with the community. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis.

The content and design of each TEDx event is unique and developed independently, but all of them have features in common.

Venue

We are pleased to invite you to Warsaw School of Economics - the most recognizable and prestigious Business School in the CEE region. Our pink Alma Mater stands as an urban icon and is characterized by modern design and noteworthy architecture. The historic Main and Parachute Hall will be a perfect location to both listen to inspiring talks and network with other participants.

The theme of this year's edition is change. If there's one thing that doesn't change in life, it's that everything changes. Change is the only constant in our lives. Nothing is given to us given once and for all, and the world is rushing by at a dizzying pace. Each of us has the incredible power to influence others and be the change in our own environment. Our goal is to show that change not should not be feared, but on the contrary - all what's best should be drawn from it.

SouLadies

SouLadies

Temat

About the superpower of SouLadies it is safe to say that it is their TOGETHER. They sing together, laugh a lot together, but also listen and learn from each other. Each meeting is also a break from the sometimes gray reality, and the power is that they choose not to separate, but just to share sounds, harmony and consonance, absolutely not comparable to solo singing. With the rest, you will see and hear for yourself :)
