TEDxKish Information

TEDxKish is an independently organised event licensed from TED by TEDster, Mojdeh Eskandari and organised by a network of global Iranian thinkers and innovators The TEDxKish mission, like the TED mission, is to propagate Ideas Worth Spreading; to inform and inspire. Our more specific vision for TEDxKish is to bring visibility to the great Persian culture and spirit of empathy and optimism, and be a leading platform and pipeline for the propagation of great ideas, storytelling, creativity and actionable innovation of Iranians with the rest of the world; to create and foster a sense of global and connected community amongst the people and organisations who gather around this event; to provide a cultural focus and impetus for conversation and debate. TED is a US based not-for-profit enterprise devoted to the propagation of Ideas Worth Spreading. TED started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment & Design. Started as a four-day conference in California 28 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. The annual TED Conference invites the world’s leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes. Their talks are then made available, free, at TED.com.see less
