TEDxFryslân 2016

24 June | Sneek | All about me

All about me

The 2016 TEDxFryslân theme was ‘All about me’. Sounds egocentric? Not quite! When you know what makes you tick, you also know how to contribute to the bigger picture. All about me is all about you, is all about us!

During this year’s edition of TEDxFryslân people discovered all about Identity (values and dreams), Confrontations (human to human), Innovations (technology and tools) and Images of the Future (visions).

What is TedX?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At TEDxZwolle, live speakers will spark deep discussion and connection. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised.
