ideas, engage leaders and give a fresh urgency and perspective to the challenges of our global community.
We invite you to join us for a relaxing evening at the "In Culise" venue, on the 3rd of April, starting from 18:00. Have a cocktail or drink a bear, watch the
livestream of TEDx speeches and rejoice in the company of like-minded TEDsters.
We will be live-streaming the event starting from 19:00 to 20:30. Following that, we invite you for an open-mic session where you can present your plea for change.
Make new connections or just unwind in the company of you friends, inspire us on stage or just listen to others and be inspired.

Theme 2013: Positive Disruption
Disruption is usually unwelcome. It represents conflict, chaos, and potential danger. We discourage disruptive behavior in our homes and our societies,
often favoring passivity and compliance.
But disruption can be a positive - sometimes vital - catalyst for change. It can challenge old assumptions, ignite conversations, activate authorities and
expose new possibilities. Disruption can shed a unique light on difficult issues, giving a fresh urgency and perspective to the challenges of our global community.
To solve the most intractable challenges in health and development, we need positive disruption. It is the path to true progress.
About TED and TEDx
For over 30 years now, the TED nonprofit stands for and is devoted to "Ideas Worth Spreading". This conference, which
debuted in 1984 by bringing together astonishing people from three worlds, Technology, Entertainment and Design
, has an ever expanding reach into fields of interest such as science, business, the arts and the global issues facing our world. Every year,
carefully selected attendees face an idea-marathon over a span of four days, more than 50 speeches and special artistic performances in Long Beach,
California.
To further engage and develop the worldwide community of thinkers and achievers, TED developed a special initiative. The TEDx program gives
communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through inspiring experiences at the local level.
TEDxBucharest, the local TEDx independently organized event, is proud to have been involved in this initiative since
its very beginnings, in 2009.
