At its core, the fundamental goal of TED and TEDxBilbao is to foster and
spread great ideas. We aim to provide a platform where “invisible
leaders” (“unkown” smart thinkers, great visionaries, and fascinating
people) will be inspired and will have the opportunity to inspire others.!
Our conferences main axis is: IMAGINE.!
"We're exploring TED as a global classroom" (Chris Anderson)!

create a platform that can be used by people in a way you never predicted?" (Lara Stein)!

and he wants to use that to make a contribution toward a better world." (Bruno Giussani)!
“Today´s context and consequently operating rules are different. First step is to understand that the
new challenges can´t be solved simply by drawing on lessons of the past and on traditional ways of
thinking about the present.” (Charles Laundry)!

8. We aspire not to create an event, but
an experience that all who participate
feel part of. !
“Thinking city as a living organism represents a paradigm shift in how cities are viewed. It opens a richer
range of possibilities and a wider resource base of ideas with wich to work” (Charles Laundry)!
