Theme: TEDxXiguanLive 2018

To attend a TED Conference, you not only need to travel to Vancouver but you also need to pay a fortune for admission. Yes, you can watch TED Talks online, but watching online will never make you feel the buzz of attending the event itself. Not to mention, many of the talks will not be published until long after this buzz has gently hushed.

That’s why we’ve decided to once again organize TEDxXiguanLive. We want to bring you these great ideas in their original and immediate form.
Ideas worth spreading with open-minded friends, snacks and drinks, could there be a better party?!

Time: 13:00-19:00

Each year, one event attracts the world - the TED Conference. Over a single week, nearly 100 speakers, arguably the most forward thinkers and doers of our time, take to the stage to give a talk of a lifetime. TEDxXiguan eagerly brings this event to our community for the third time. Don’t miss it.

In the welcome letter of the TED Conference brochure, TED’s curator Chris Anderson writes:

“The world right now is more than a little bit crazy, and more than a little bit scary. It is also unquestionably amazing - and likely to get more so. Our task this week is to distinguish ‘good amazing’ from ‘bad amazing’. To figure out together how we can turbocharge the first, and fight the second.”TED 2018 is themed, The Age of Amazement, it’s an exclamation towards the world we live in today. The progress of technology and humanity outpaces everybody’s imagination. Yet, on the other hand, the past year has been terrifying for a lot of people - is there more hatred and less trust? Are we moving towards a better future, or are we dismantling the very foundations of a supposedly modern civilization? In this age, amazement, in its various forms, is everywhere. Black, white, gray, how do we distinguish the good from the bad?

This year, speakers range from an artist to a scientist, a game designer to an investor, an architect to a rock climber. This diverse lineup nods to what we have come to expect of TED and yet still manages to amaze.
