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 TEDxParramatta, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxParramatta 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.
TEDxParramatta is an opportunity for Western Sydney to showcase the diversity of ideas and talent represented in this region. The theme Beginning Becoming Beyond represents a story in progress. Our aim is to find those stories from Western Sydney that highlight the constant evolution of the region.
There is heritage and history in Western Sydney, many firsts, changes and innovations. The city has seen massive changes in technology, education and culture, and is home to organisations and individuals who continue that tradition of renewal for Western Sydney and its diverse communities.
There has also been incredible growth in the medical practice and technology sector in the suburbs around Parramatta and north-west Sydney. There is a lot going on and we want to take a snapshot that represents the diversity of ideas that are important to the future of the city.
