TEDxDubai2010 will be brought to life with the help of a select group of companies

The main idea is to bring to life a TEDx event that will unleash  local and international talent. Speakers will be given a chance to reach world stage, while providing the sponsors with a persistent presence that will begin with the event, and continue to grow for a year after the event.

TEDxDubai has been a Twitter trend in 2009 and it has been recoglized as one of the leading TEDx event among the more than 500 conferences worldwide.

TEDxDubai2009 talks have been viewed by more than 50.000 people all around the world, and numbers are growing.

Two of TEDxDubai2009 speakers have been invited to talk at the main TED conference in Oxford; middle eastern generated ideas shared with the 100 million TED fans worldwide.

If you are willing to support ...

 

TEDx conferences are independently organized TED events following the original philosophy of introducing interesting speakers and ideas worth spreading. Prezi is often used as an optional presentation tool at these conferences. Giorgio Ungania, organizer of TEDX Dubai have now decided to go even further. He wants to create the first TEDx where every speaker will have to utilize Prezi as a presentation tool. They will build their own TEDx Prezi style, and to boost the process, create a little academy where speakers will be trained on how to use Prezi.

Dear TEDx Dubai fans, we want to wrap up 2009 by putting on line all the talks recorded during last October's conference. 

For those of you that attended the conference in person it is a good way to remember those magic moments that made the event so special, and for all those who could not make it, it is a way to maybeunderstand why so many people where making such a big fuss out of it.. From the Charter of Compassion introduced by TED Europe Director Bruno Giussani, to Leo Laporte's vison of media landscape of the future, from Paul Bennett's vision of design to Khulood Al Atiyat's Unleash project, from Joichi Ito's Creative Commons projects to Dr Naif Al Mutawa's 99 series and many others you will experience the vision and drive of local and international dreamers willing to change the world to a better place. From tomorrow me and James will start planting the seeds for TEDx Dubai 2010 , that most probably will take place on 20|11|10.  This year we will organize a series of activities running up to the event, so stay tuned for more info to come.

Dear TEDx Dubai Fans,

 

we have to apologize for the delayed on line posting of TEDx Dubai Talks ; we had several technical glitches with the YouTube account and we are currently  considering migrating to another on line video portal.

 

All on line talks will be on line somehow before the end of december.

 

Once again, apologies for the inconveniences.

Dear TEDxsters,

we apologize for the delay but we are finally back, and here to stay..

It is wise to bring some water...

Walking three kilometers in the sweltering heat of Dubai is almost unheard of with the conveniences of air conditioned housing, malls and transportation available to everyone. A quick five minute walk to the car causes a hue and cry over how bad the weather is, how far the parking spaces are, and how exhausted we feel.

In the flux of a typical busy Dubai life, it's easy to forget that children from lower economically developed countries walk more than double that distance daily, and in harsher conditions, just to fetch themselves some water.

Partnering and bartering our way out of the recession

Parvaiz Nasir, the business manager for TEDx Dubai has an interesting view on how to survive the recession in the UAE. If you read carefully you will see many TEDx Dubai elements seeded all around his theory.

If you agree, if you disagree or even if you don't care please blog your thoughts here.

Thursday October 22nd Giorgio & James will be GeekTalking @ GeekFest 2.0 a gathering organized by His Geekiness the one and only Alexander McNabb

If your happy and you know it say TEDx Dubai !

This shot was taking on one of my recent business trips to London. I loved this shot because it depicts what the harsh reality of the lives we all live. We have come to accept being told what to do even in the the smallest things. We cannot even cross a road without the reminder of where to look.
Often crossroads such as the above are put to the test in our decisions. “Become a lawyer, work for Apple, he’s not good for you, wear this, eat that...” And
Mohammed Saeed Harid pictured with a cardboard cutout of his cartoon grandmother.
most often than not, we listen to these people and look to the right without even a flinch. Question; what would happen if we looked to the left or even chose another road to walk on? An accident perhaps? Ain’t it a risk worth taking?
This article is dedicated to the photographer in Carla, to the pilot in Mike to the movie maker in Joel, to the rapper in Hani to the artist in Ziad and last but not the least-- to the man that once crowned me his princess.
