Calling all curious minds – the inaugural TEDxSydney is coming back to town and this year’s line-up is looking pretty bloody good. On Friday, September 1 from 9am to 5pm, Hordern Pavilion and the Entertainment Quarter will play host to some of the country’s most intriguing thinkers, performers and artists, with the likes of space engineer Sarah Cannard, lawyer and First Nations advocate Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts, SBS screenwriter Emma Myers and Australian gangster turned private investigator Bill Edgar, plus more, all taking their unique minds to the ornate stage.
This year’s TEDx theme is ‘Tipping Point’, so talks will emphasise the importance and potential of renewal and growth after big periods of change. The chosen speakers this year all bring powerful and fresh ways of thinking when it comes to looking towards a better future.
You can expect to see innovators, leaders, artists and activists all take to the TEDx stage to share their "revolutionary visions for the future". They're reimagining everything from our cities, to work, to economics and politics. We're entering a new world, and you don't want to miss this train.
Ticket packages to this thoughtful occasion don't exactly come cheap – concession tickets come in at $299, and standard registrations at $399, but with that price tag you get a full-day of curated performances, talks, film viewings and food and drinks (including all-day coffee). If you can't make it to the in-person moment, you can also book in for an online viewing for $50 a pop.
