Theme: Break New Ground

At TEDxMedijana being held in Niš this year, we will feature speakers who have taken bold steps towards innovation, pushing the boundaries in their respective fields. They have challenged themselves and their communities and paved the way for new possibilities.

All of them will share their experiences and insights on how they have broken new ground in their careers, personal lives, and communities. We will hear more about the challenges they faced, the risks they took, and the lessons that they learned along the way from which we can learn as well.

From a social entrepreneur using technology to transform the burnout of his employee in the community to a scientist pushing the limits of what we know about AI, the speakers at TEDxMedijana will inspire us to take bold steps toward creating a better future.

Join us at TEDxMedijana as we explore new ideas, challenge our thinking, and break new ground.
