AUSTRALIAN THINKERS STEP INTO THE TED SPOTLIGHT

TEDxSydney by General ThinkingSaturday 22 May 2010 at CarriageWorks

The Sydney based General Thinking network is proud to announce its inaugural TEDxSydney event, to be held at CarriageWorks in Sydney's Eveleigh on Saturday 22 May 2010. Globally acknowledged as one of the world's most influential new media brands, TED and its offshoot TEDx program is a US based not-for-profit enterprise devoted to the propagation of "Ideas Worth Spreading."

TEDxSydney 2010 will offer a coveted speaking platform to 20 of Australia's leading innovators and thinkers, both well known and yet to be discovered.

The free event will be attended by an invitation only audience of 650 changemakers, innovators, thinkers, creatives, cultural leaders, social pioneers and TED enthusiasts. Half of the seats will be allocated to members of the public via an application process available at TEDxSydney.com. TED devotees from Australia and around the world will be able to tune into the event via a free, live webstream.

TEDxSydney is being organised by Sydney retail pioneer, Remo Giuffre (REMO General Store) and his General Thinking network of thinkers and collaborators.


"TED is a unique learning environment which pays homage to the potency of ideas," said Giuffre "Speakers are invited to the stage based on the merit of their ideas and TEDxSydney continues this tradition. For TEDxSydney we felt that we would establish a platform for local thinkers, doers and storytellers. We consider our role to be that of talent scouts; unearthing people from this part of the world, who inspire, and through their ideas and actions, make a powerful contribution to life on earth."
