Design Ideas Worth Spreading

November 28, 2009
9:00 am	to	12:00 pm

As part of the Singapore Design Festival 2009, TEDxGreen and TEDxSingapore is jointly organising a public event themed Design Ideas Worth Spreading. This event features videos of thought-provoking ideas and talks from TED Conferences. Participants will learn, share and engage in conversations about these ideas and their own, and be inspired to make a difference in their world and lives.

Design encompasses more than making great products, and includes everything that humanity does and creates, and is also about our continual search for ideas and solutions to questions that affect all of us: How can we design a better world to live in? Live a greener, self-sustainable existence on this planet? Lead happier lives? Be more creative? Create a future we can believe in?

Date: 28 November 2009, Saturday

Time: 9am to 12pm (registration and networking from 9am to 9.30am)

Venue: Singapore Management University, School of Accountancy, Ngee Ann Kongsi Auditorium, Level 3

This event is open to the public and there is no charge for admission, but
registration is required. To register, visit our website: http://www.tedxsingapore.sg/DesignFestival2009.php.

About 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.

At a TEDx event, TED Talks videos and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event.

The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).
