TEDx es un programa global de eventos locales auto-organizados que reúne a las personas para compartir una experiencia tipo TED. Los eventos TED se realizan desde hace 20 años y significan un espacio donde compartir y presentar "ideas que vale la pena divulgar", pero que dentro de su poder global hablan de algo peculiarmente local.
TEDx is a global program that enables the creation of local, self-organized events that gather people to experience a TED-like event. TED events have been organized for 20 years and they are a space to share and showcase "ideas worth spreading." In spite of their global reach, they still have a distinctive local quality.
In a TEDx event, videos of TEDTalks and live speakers are combined to generate deep discussions and connect the audience to participants.
In this sense, TEDx Montevideo is aimed at sharing ideas and projects of the most inspiring men and women in Uruguay. In its first edition, TEDxMontevideo will gather participants from various fields, including the arts, technology and science.
When: Tuesday, May 4, 2010 from 5:00 to 10:00 p.m.
Where: Zavala Muniz Auditorium – Solis Theater
