Attend TEDxSydney 2013

TEDxSydney 2013 will take place within the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House before a live audience of 2,200. It will be simulcast throughout the public areas of the House for members of the public and visitors to enjoy on the day. It will also be streamed live to a worldwide audience ... viewing from home, the workplace or one of many planned satellite events.

As with any TED event, the programming will blend talks and performances with interspersed “tasty video bits.” For 2013, and for the first time, food will be more closely integrated with the day's proceedings ... and, driven by TEDxSydney Food Curator Jill Dupleix, will actually form part of the programming.
