TEDxSummit 2012 hosted by DFI
Schedule
- Mon Apr 16
TEDxSummit is a week-long event exclusively for TEDx organizers. Hosted by the Doha Film Institute (DFI), the inaugural event will gather TEDx organizers from around the world for a week of workshops, talks and cultural activities. At TEDxSummit, TEDx organizers will meet, share ideas, collaborate and brainstorm. Top TED and TEDx speakers from across the globe will give talks throughout the course of the week.
The individuals involved with TEDx have a passion for turning challenges into opportunity with the hope of inspiring the next generation. We believe in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives, and ultimately, the world.
TEDxSummit will enable the community to share that passion and experience, as we endeavor toward building a better future. The week-long series of events will include:
- 3-day workshop for the TEDx licensee community, including special tracks for veterans
- Open-topic sessions to brainstorm and solve challenges
- Talks by leading innovators from around the world selected by the TEDx community
- Sharing of best practices between communities and regions
- Opportunity for regional groups of TEDx organizers to develop local event strategies
- Opportunity for the TED team to discuss future plans and propose (and gather) new ideas
- Special activities for TEDx organizers to connect and form lasting bonds and partnerships
- Community interactions in which TEDx organizers can mentor and meet individuals from Doha
- Collaboration on cross-community projects that will continue beyond the Summit
- Interaction with TED Prize winners and the TED Fellows
