TEDxMonteCarlo
Sat. 26th November 2016
At the first TEDxMonteCarlo, leaders, visionaries and entertainers will share their passion and unique expertise exploring a wide range of ideas from science to business and global issues. Speakers from Monaco, and those flying in from around the world, promise to be thought-provoking, educational and entertaining. It will be a memorable experience.
TED, standing for Technology, Entertainment & Design, is a globally recognised brand that was started in 1984. TED Talks are short, powerful talks that share an idea, in less than 18 minutes.
