TEDxIstanbul is one of the most established of the independently organized TEDx communities in the world. We are a platform that inspires people to change their lives, their futures and ultimately their world. Think of us as a feast for hungry, insatiable minds. We don’t just stand still and wait for ideas to come. We ask the questions that people are not asking and we chase them with a fierce appetite of intellectual curiosity that pushes the boundaries of conventional thinking. We engage thought leaders who communicate extraordinarily complex ideas with elegant finesse. Many are notable recognized industry leaders and subject matter experts, and others represent the next generation of voices who shed light on unconventional ways of thinking outside the box and challenging the status quo. Change is scary and there is urgency. We push conversations forward in a way that is sometimes uncomfortable, yet that also gestures in the direction of a future and a community we want to be a part of creating.
