Please be aware
These talks will be professionally recorded and published on the TEDx Talks YouTube channel with an audience of 30 million subscribers. We must adhere to very strict guidelines about filming and production, and it is therefore of utmost importance that we do not have any disruptions to the filming while the talks are in progress. For this reason, the doors will close 5 minutes before each session begins, and latecomers will not be allowed to enter the auditorium.
