What an amazing line-up for TEDx Adelaide 2011!
This year, we’ve managed to find even more ideas at the edge in our own backyard: the state of South Australia. Covering a cross-section of science, social issues, media and arts, we are delighted to announce our program for this year’s conference on Saturday 12th November 2011.
Please arrive at 11:00am for registrations. Live speakers and livestreaming will finish at 6:30 pm, with the last session featuring selected TED videos and a chance to talk at the bar and wind down.
