Become a part of TEDxBratislava. You can participate in several ways (as participant, sponsor, volunteer or local livecast organizer).

We are looking for active, perceptive and open-minded people from all fields who understand that it is not important what they will hear and keep for themselves, but how they will use all those thoughts.

A TED or TEDx conference without speakers would be nothing. It’s the speakers with their talks who attract people to the event, or webstream. It’s the speakers’ ideas (worth spreading), thoughts (opening our eyes), courage and imagination (encouraging and inspiring us), as well as the art of sharing their emotions and joy of being creative and productive with others.

For the TEDx Bratislava 2011 organizing team, the quest for speakers is the greatest challenge – they are the bottom line of everything. Besides, the number of great people who have a lot to say and contribute is much bigger than the number of slots in the event’s programme. This is why we didn’t look for speakers alone, but, just like last year, we also involved last year’s speakers, as well as TEDx participants and fans.

This year’s event is a direct follow-up to last year’s “Mind Wide Open” theme. “Creating the Future. Today.” aspires to be a continuation of the process in which minds are opened and directly involved in activities bringing us a better, richer and more intense future.
