Yesterday I attended my first TED conference, the TEDxHamburg. For those of you that don’t know about TED: It’s a plattform where “specialists” from all kind of different fields of expertise talk about their point of view, vision or experience. In the end it’s all about “Ideas worth spreading”. Usually based in the States, the TEDx is what you would call a satellite event allover the world. Yesterdays conference lasted from 9am to 6pm. I took some snapshots from the speakers and themes that I found most interesting. From Linda Pohlmann’s experience as a freelance journalist and the problem of aid organizations, Bright B Simons word about the problems with fake medicine, David F Flanders about 3D printing, Joost Holthuis about designing the importance of customer insights, Jörg Reckhenrich about creativity in business to Elisabet Sahtouris presenting views on the evolution and the possibility that crisis brings. Theses were just a few of yesterdays speakers, see the whole list and additional information here. I could write so much more, but you better find out yourself digging in the vaults of the TED archive. I’m sure you’ll find some inspiration for making this world a better place. Some more specific cases from the event will follow the next days.
