TEDxBaselLive

TEDxBaselLive took place on Saturday 27 April 2019. 

TED2019: Bigger Than Us. The renowned flagship TED Conference is held annually in Vancouver and more than a thousand people attend the 5 day conference. TEDxBaselLive gave the opportunity for the audience to view an exclusive streamed session of the sold-out TED2019 Conference. In addition to this the audience also got to enjoy social drinks and view the live 3 Minute Pop up Talks, voting for their favourite to go through as a finalist to the TEDxBasel main event.

“When it is dark enough, you can see the stars." ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

The political and technological turmoil of the past few years has had unexpected consequences: it’s causing us to ask bigger, deeper, more challenging questions. Like … where is this heading? what really matters? is there more I should be doing?

TED2019 is joining the same search for deeper meaning. They’ll be exploring technologies that evoke wonder and tantalise with superhuman powers, mind-bending science that will drive the future as significantly as any politician, the design of cities and other powerful human systems that shape our lives, awe-inspiring, mind-expanding creativity and most of all, the inspiring possibilities that happen when we ask what ideas are truly worth fighting for, worth living for.

TEDxBaselPop-ups

TEDxBaselLive attendees had the unique opportunity to see their fellow TEDsters share their ideas in the form of ‘Pop-up Talks’, and vote for the best three talks to qualify for the second round. The winning talk was then be presented on stage alongside the official roster of TEDxBasel speakers on May 11th.
