TEDx Taipei

Here are some photos I took at the TEDx Taipei event which occurred yesterday. It was a great event, super well organized, with excellent speakers all around. Congrats to Kevin, Jason and the whole team for putting on a terrific show. There were many people I didn't get photos of, this is just a small selection of what was on offer.

The event was held in a renovated space that is now an arts/culture center

Designer Alice Wang presented some whimsical designs. This is what it feels like when you're on stage - a complete blur. 18 mins goes by in no time, for the presenter at least!
