Ideas worth spreading

Our idea events:  for passion, for people, for purpose

(photo above: Hundreds of people in Singapore launch their inspired dreams during the first large-scale TED community gathering at SMU during Singapore Design Festival in Nov 2009.)

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDxSingapore organises idea events that bring people together to share a TED-style experience.   Live speakers, TEDTalk videos, performances combine to spark deep discussion and connection among 'curious souls', just like yourself, who love and value ideas and want to build a future that you can believe in. 

TEDxSingapore Idea Events are curated by TED-sters who have attended numerous TED Conferences and are dedicated to creating great TED experience...
