TEDxWarsaw
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TEDxWarsaw is an independently organized TED event, run annually since March 2010. It was the first and currently is the largest TEDx event in Poland.
TEDxWarsaw was founded in August 2009 by Ralph Talmont together with Adam Liwiński and Maciej Michalski. Łukasz Alwast, Julian Kozankiewicz, Małgorzata Minta and Mateusz Nowak joined the Team soon after. As of March 2017, close to 40 individuals and numerous partners are involved on a voluntary basis in the organization of public TEDx events in Warsaw.
Apart from the annual, invitation-only, day-long conference, a number of smaller events are also created by Team members, notably TEDxYouth@Warsaw, TEDxWarsawSalon, and TEDxWarsawPresidentialPalace - the first TEDx event in the World to be held inside such an institution. All of these are free to attend, while guests are usually required to go through an application process.
As of March 2017, well over 200 speakers and artists have appeared at the various TEDxWarsaw events, including well-known scientists, actors, and performers, as well as less well-known thought leaders and achievers in fields ranging from business to photography and personal development to microbiology.
