Hey 51 Easts' élite,
I’m sure you all heard the big news that “TEDx WWW” is going to be hosted in Qatar!
I was so excited when I saw Doha Film Institute tweeted the announcement of hosting the first TEDxWorldWideWorkshop from April 16 – 19 2011 where it will be an opportunity to connect, share best practices, discusses local and regional strategies and brainstorm new ideas and collaborations.
The TEDxWWW will be followed by a one day TEDxDoha event on the 20th April <3 where it brings together 700 members from the active TEDx global community to share their believe in the power of ideas in changing attitudes, lives and ultimately the world. It will be an opportunity to engage with ideas of the world's most inspired thinkers. The event will feature speakers and performers from the Middle Eastern region as well as other parts of the world, recommended by the TEDx community.
I’m very big fan of TEDx – which is an independently organized event where inspiring speakers address wide range of topics within science, culture, technology and entertainment. Speakers are given a maximum of 18 minutes to present their ideas in an innovative and engaging ways.
Usually my weekends wouldn’t go without being inspired through watching a number of Tedtalks. I even sometimes like to play old videos which would still be new ideas to me. Luckily, last year I got the chance to actually experience one of the TEDxDoha event that was “TEDWomen” conference where Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani participated in a session titled ““Harmony and Discord: The role Women play in peace and security,” in Washington, DC via satellite from Doha. The event was full of inspiring stories and ideas that make you really wanna do something new in your life! ..I can’t wait for the upcoming TEDxDoha Event!
So, if you are an inspiring speaker or an inspired attendee, make sure to mark your calendars and keep checking the following websites for more information as registration opens in October.
