TEDxSydney live 2017

The June event that shook-up our lobby with fresh ideas

For the second year in a row, we offered our community access to the live streaming of TEDxSydney 2017 direct from the International Convention Centre (ICC).  

Every year, TEDxSydney is much anticipated, with a full day of talks, films, music and debate, and is one of the largest TEDx events in the world.  With speakers curated from a wide spectrum of disciplines and backgrounds, they not only argue for, but show us how to make real change happen.
