Theme: The Brave You

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Katrine Marçal

Katrine Marçal is a renowned Swedish author and journalist based in the United Kingdom. She is a correspondent for Dagens Nyheter, the largest morning newspaper in Sweden. She writes about the crossroads of politics, economics and feminism. Author of the provocative and award-winning book “Who cooked Adam Smith’s dinner?” which has been translated to 18 languages, she stands for a human and feminist understanding of economics that finally sees the value brought by women. Will that be the gift of the so-called 4th Industrial Revolution?

María Fernández-Miranda Bances is a journalist who is currently doing as Deputy Director of the well-known women’s magazine Cosmopolitan. Previously, she worked at Elle, Yo Dona, Marie Claire and at La Nueva España newspaper. Living first-hand the pressure that society still puts on women, made her reflect on the type of questions that we ask them every day. After going through seven unsuccesful in vitro fecundations, she embarked on a journey in search of different women role models beyond maternity, interviewing 10 Spanish celebrities (such as Maribel Verdú, Rosa Montero and Alaska) whose voices and stories were collected on her exciting book: “No madres. Mujeres sin hijos contra los tópicos”.
