Deloitte Greenhouse
ABOUT
It’s Time for TED!Big TED, that is. This year’s week-long festival of mind-altering, breath-taking, awe-inspiring, you-name-it ideas is almost here, and you get to take it all in from the comfort and convenience of a front-row seat.
TEDxJohannesburg once again brings you a live stream of the TED Conference, direct from a cold Vancouver in Canada, on Wednesday 17 February from 16h00 to 20h30. The venue is the truly awesome Deloitte Greenhouse, at Block 33, 20 Woodlands Drive, in Woodmead, Sandton. See the map.
The theme is Dream. Because dreams matter. And TED2016 is dedicated to the greatest dreams we are capable of dreaming. It is a week to stare hard at humanity’s toughest challenges, to listen to our greatest thinkers, artists and storytellers. A week to stir the blood.
The TEDxJohannesburg live stream focuses on Sessions 2 and 6: Radical Repatterning and Code Power. Highlights include Joe Gebbia, cofounder of Airbnb, Travis Kalanick, cofounder of Uber, and Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel. All three are disrupting entrenched industries—Joe is redesigning the way the world travels and how people connect; Travis is reinventing urban transportation on a global scale; and Linus and his open source community will continue to radically reshape the software industry for a long time still.
