About Event |
TEDxVilvoorde is the brainchild of Tom Meyers in an effort to bring people together to discuss the opportunities and challenges of a fast-changing and ever more digital world.
It can be expected that humanity will change more over the next 20 years than in the last 300. Which raises the question of who we want to be in a digitally transformed future. Do we überhaupt have a choice in the matter? Yes, we do! However, who we are tomorrow, depends on the decisions and choices we make today. Thus the theme "What the Future?!" was born and furthermore the quest to bring together brilliant speakers with ideas worth spreading that create inspiring, thought-provoking and mind-blowing conversation about how to create y'our future history, today. |
About TED |
TED is a non-profit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 30 years ago, TED has grown to support its mission with multiple initiatives. The two annual TED Conferences invite the world’s leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes or less. Many of these talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Sal Khan and Daniel Kahneman.
The annual TED Conference takes place each spring in Vancouver, British Columbia. TED’s media initiatives include TED.com, where new TED Talks are posted daily; TED Translators, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as translations from volunteers worldwide; the educational initiative TED-Ed. TED has established The Audacious Project that takes a collaborative approach to funding ideas with the potential to create change at thrilling scale; TEDx, which supports individuals or groups in hosting local, self- organized TED-style events around the world, and the TED Fellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.

About TEDx |
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized non-profit events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
