Découvrez les orateurs du TEDxBrussels 2018
La liste complète des intervenants pour la neuvième édition de TEDxBruxelles, qui aura lieu le 5 mars 2018 au Bozar à Bruxelles, a été confirmée. Tous les conférenciers donneront leur vision sur "A Brave New World", le thème central de l'événement cette année (dont le titre est le même que l'illustre roman de science-fiction d'Aldous Huxley). Les présentations sont regroupées autour de trois thèmes, selon l'acronyme de TED: Technologie, Éthics et communication et Destination. Des experts passionnés et des experts chevronnés dans leurs domaines respectifs parleront de ce que l'avenir pourrait apporter selon eux, dans des présentations de douze minutes chacune.
Chaque année, TEDxBruxelles accueille un panel élaboré de penseurs, chercheurs, entrepreneurs, inventeurs et artistes désireux de partager leurs idées avec le public. Les conférenciers sont invités à partager leur histoire sur la base de leur expertise, mais leurs passions ou les aventures qu'ils ont vécues peuvent aussi être le point de départ d'un discours TED inspirant. Cette année,"A Brave New World" est le fil conducteur des présentations. TEDxBruxelles a l'honneur d'annoncer sa gamme complète pour l'édition 2018.
