Announcing TEDxJohannesburgCity2.0
Dream me. Build me. Make me real.
On Friday 20 September 2013, TED will host TEDCity2.0 in New York, focusing on how bright urban ideas turn into collective impact through collaborative action. TEDx communities across the globe – including TEDxJohannesburg – will host parallel events along the same theme.
Our event, named TEDxJohannesburgCity2.0, takes place at JoziHub on 44 Stanley, Milpark, from 12noon until 7pm. The event will feature talks from the bright minds and big hearts involved in remaking Johannesburg – stewards, artists, builders and tastemakers shaping a brave new future for the metropolis. They will share narratives of urban innovation and transformation focusing on global City 2.0 themes – Art, Education, Food, Health, Housing, Play, Public Space, and Safety – all elements essential to the future health and success of our beloved Joburg. Thereafter we’ll cross live to New York for talks from the TED stage.
TEDxJohannesburgCity2.0 will feature up to five live local speakers passionate about the city and in tune with the issues. One will offer an idea for a clear, do-able, compelling collaborative action. Speakers from the TEDstage will present ideas that cut across borders, also with very specific calls to action. Expect to mix and mingle with an audience of city dwellers open to new thoughts and perspectives on how we can collectively build Johannesburg into the city we want.
Drinks and snacks will be served. R200 covers costs. Registration is open.
Let’s make it real. TEDxJohannesburg Team
