Counting Down the TEDx Taipei Event

In a few more hours it will be the second TEDx Taipei  event in Taiwan.  This year, the theme is “Unlearn, Play and Inspire."  23 speakers, including designers, entrepreneurs, explorers, storytellers, photographers, scientific pioneers, visionaries, and provocateurs are going to share their stories with a 500 person audience. Today, frog Creative Director Adam Richardson, who will speak at the event and I joined the rehearsal and got a sneak peak at a very impressive line up. We look forward to tomorrow’s event!

The reception and stage is built from recycle materials, giving off a creative, professional and environmental friendly vibe.

Everyone can leave a message on the blackboard.

Jason Hsu and Kevin Peng are the curators of TEDx Taipei. Their vision is to expose the Taiwanese to the TEDx spirit while encouraging the locals to share their own great stories to the world.
