TEDxVolcano x=independently organized TED event

Explosive. Unexpected. In the air. A serendipitous event in association with TEDxLondon


Stranded by the ash, inspired by the just-concluded Skoll World Forum, and temporarily sharing the brilliance of one of the world's greatest cities, a group of entrepreneurs, thinkers, tinkerers, creatives, and loonies invites you to join us for what promises to be one of the most compelling TEDx events yet held: TEDxVolcano.

Put together in the span of a day with the support of TED, TEDxLondon, The Hub, Sandbox Network, Assetmap and many others, TEDxVolcano will feature a wide range of thinkers and doers stranded by the volcano, plus inspired audience participation and a few ash-induced surprises. Also: the extraordinary sounds of London-based, global-minded musician Susheela Raman.

What is TEDx?

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 TEDx[name], where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDx[name] 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. For more information, visit TEDx online.
