TedX@Sentosa

Two videos. Six live speakers. Fifty guests. On Sentosa. With beer. And a little bit of finger food.

If you're a fan of the TED.com talks, come hang out with other fans during a heady evening of disinhibited debauchery (that'll be one keg of Tiger beer, please) punctuated by earnest attempts at intellectual exchange.

Guest list will be capped at 57 so please register soon if you're attending.


A STRICTLY OPTIONAL contribution of $20 may be left at the door to help with expenses.

Not affiliated with TEDxSingapore or TEDxGreen, but we love them too!

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx.

TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxSentosa, where x=independently organized TED event. At our TEDxSentosa event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and
connection in a small group.

The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

About TED

TED is an annual event where some of the world's leading thinkers and doers are invited to share what they are most passionate about. "TED" stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design — three broad subject areas
that are, collectively, shaping our future. And in fact, the event is broader still, showcasing ideas that matter in any discipline. Attendees have called it "the ultimate brain spa" and "a four-day journey into the future." The
diverse audience — CEOs, scientists, creatives, philanthropists — is almost as extraordinary as the speakers, who have included Bill Clinton, Bill Gates,
Jane Goodall, Frank Gehry, Paul Simon, Sir Richard Branson, Philippe Starck and Bono.
TED was first held in Monterey, California, in 1984. In 2001, Chris Anderson's Sapling Foundation acquired TED from its founder, Richard Saul Wurman. In recent years, TED has expanded to include an international conference, TEDGlobal; media initiatives, including TED Talks and TED.com; and the TED Prize. TED2010, "What the world Needs Now," will be held Feb 9-13, 2010, in Long Beach, California, with a simulcast event in Palm Springs, California. TEDGlobal 2009, "The Substance of Things Not Seen," will be held July 21-24, 2009, in Oxford, UK and TEDIndia will be held in
November 2009.

TEDxSentosa is not being organized by the TED conferences — this is an independently organized TED event.
