Balance on the edge | TEDx Danubia

Balance on the edge

Welcome to our home: the endlessly ephemeral edge, the elusive and ever changing, yet permanent balance where Life happens.

It gives home to everything from the existence of the Universe to our personal life experiences, from achieving success to making good decisions. It is where both innovation and harmony stem from. It is where complex and emergent systems operate, from financial systems to biological ones, from climate balance to the human brain, from cosmology to politics. And for these systems, we may need to rethink our industrial notion of control. It may very well be more about open ends and unfinished stories. About reconciling opposite truths, conflicting demands and antagonistic interests. But it is also about the paths to take, the questions to ask, the windows of opportunity, the threats we need to survive and the solutions we need to find.

Speakers: Brody Leonard, Csutka István, Dajka Krisztián, Dávid Ferenc, Duda Ernő, Peggy Dulany, Danielle Fong, Jay Goldman, Heincz Gábor, Hetesi Zsolt, Valencia James, Joós Andrea, Kiss László, Magyar Ádám, Nic Marks, Alessandra Orofino , Pilling János, Polgár Judit, Noah Raford, Hannu Rajaniemi, Sammy Rangel, Augustine Roland, Schwartz Daniel I., Leerom Segal, Furugh Switzer, Ugron Zsolna, Vági Bence

TED is a platform for ideas worth spreading.

Launched in 1984 as a conference where technology, entertainment and design converged, TED today shares ideas from a broad spectrum — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxDanubia, where x = independently organized TED event and 'Danubia' symbolizes the cross-border and interdisciplinary communication and thinking that we aim to achieve. At our TEDxDanubia event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
