TEDxHong Kong Invites Us to Take a New Perspective

Description

How did Ted Talks make knowledge cool again? The world’s best-known lecture series return to Hong Kong with a bill of high-profile guest speakers drawn from the worlds of entertainment, design and technology, as well as business, health and science. Focused around the theme of  “Adjust Focus: Look Again,” the independently organised half-day event invites audiences to make a “subtle but powerful shift in perspective”.

After the talks, the Taste of TEDx (Community Dinners) invites attendees for more intimate exchanges with the eight guest lecturers, which include Japanese fashion artisan Hiro Yoshikawa, Hong Kong environmental researcher John Terenzini, social entrepreneur and baker Karen Chu, film director Lawrence Kan and Harvard-trained scientist Choi Pui-wah.
