Invented Here

 

About

TEDWomen 2013 will celebrate invention in all its forms. Not just technology inventions, but also new solutions to poverty; new approaches to leadership; new expressions of art and music; and, at times, the invention of our own lives. Some of the questions we're asking:  How does geography impact innovation? How would new technologies shape our lives? Can inventions help us lead longer, better lives? How can meaningful change be imagined, fostered, and scaled?

More than 150 TEDx events around the world will take part, sharing the livestream on Thursday and presenting local speakers around the theme "Invented Here." The result: A truly global conversation -- from San Francisco to São Paulo to Seoul -- celebrating inventors and designers; thinkers and makers; local problem-solvers and global leaders.

TEDxBerlinWomen will also present a stream from the fourth TEDWomenconference held in San Francisco's Jazz Center on Thursday, December 5th. Along it's motto "Invented here", the conference seeks to channel the bootstrap spirit of Silicon Valley to celebrate invention in all its forms.

At our TEDxBerlinWomen event we will show the first session of the conference entitled "To Be is to Do", which will feature renowned TED and TEDx speakers such as Diana Nyad, Maya Penn, Krista Donaldson and more.
