TEDxMelbourne 2019 - Limitless
Event Information
Description
TEDxMelbourne’s Limitless: The Other Side of Impossible.
In Limitless, we’ll explore the concept that anything really is possible. With technology, creativity, collaboration and resources it feels like we can achieve anything. So is there anything we can’t do?
Twenty years ago, artificial intelligence was a fun concept in cartoons and fantasy films. Today it’s a reality. A few years ago, long haul travel took days. Now you can be in London in 24 hours. Imagine what tomorrow will bring.
What does the future look like? What’s next? Will we continue our brilliance - or will we implode?
We ask the question – what’s on the other side of impossible? Are we as humans, Limitless?
TEDxMelbourne is even more accessible to our community this year; our usual day-time program has been moved to an evening time slot, with the opportunity for informal drinks and networking following the official event.
Join TEDxMelbourne as we celebrate ten years of sharing ideas and explore what Limitless means to humanity and our future.
The line up includes:
Entertainment - Future Crunch
A group of scientists, artists, researchers and entrepreneurs that believe science and technology are creating a world that is more peaceful, transparent and abundant. They’re determined to share that story through dynamic and entertaining presentations that are designed to make you think differently.
MC - Will Tait, Musical Philosopher
Will Tait is a songsmith, MC and presenter with a passion for inspiring wonder and revealing the hidden potential in situations and gatherings. Through music, theatre, whole-heartedness and humour he aims to create moments of sharing, inspiration and joy that help make this new story tangible and trustworthy. Will is a member of Future Crunch.
