We can achieve greater changes by overcoming realistic or self-created limits. Without the inner fight with our complexes, fears and lack of will power, we’re simply being carried along the stream.
Oftentimes, the stream takes us nowhere, that’s why courage is needed to maintain what’s achieved through hard work.
2016 marks the 5th anniversary of TEDxRiga, and for our 5th conference we will have 23 amazing speakers and performers — each with an idea worth spreading.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxRiga, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxRiga event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
You should plan the whole day to enjoy TEDxRiga. We will have 4 awesome sessions from 9 AM up until 6 PM. You’re free to leave and return to venue at any time, but please mind that entering the main hall is allowed in between the talks only.
Yes! We will not only provide food for thought, but also will take care of the actual food. Lunch meal will be provided at halftime, there will be snacks, coffee, tea, water available throughout the day.
While TEDxRiga tends to be about listening to the talks, we create a cool atmosphere around networking, meeting new people and sharing ideas in between the sessions. Various activities will be available, and the Wi-Fi too!
Absolutely! The speakers love networking as much as you do, and will be present during the day. You will also have a fantastic opportunity to meet some of the speakers from our previous four conferences.
There will be drinks served to conclude the event, so don’t leave early. The final networking session is the most fun!
