Theme: New millennium

TEDxIDCHerzliya will take place on the fall semester, opening the year 2020/2021!
Subject to developments of COVID-19.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

People are the technology that makes our new millennium alive. In today’s day and age, most of the Western world has the luxury of a streamlined life from home. The technological advancements we’ve made as a species presents boundless privileges that leave us limitless when it comes down to our capabilities.

From the way we take care of our businesses to the way we take care of our bodies, the new millennium has changed the way we humanize. The world, along with the people who collectively contributed to its greatness, are ever debating the consequences of its progress.

TEDxIDC New Millennium gives the opportunity to ponder questions, ideas and contributions of our new millennium on stage through the eyes of the incredible individuals who are a part of creating this new reality.
