TEDxAbuDhabiU this is going to be great!
I have been to a couple of TED events now and organized a couple of TEDx events, with some help. I even spoke at the last TEDxDubai event. But I have never been as excited about a TED event as I am about TEDxAbuDhabiU, really. It isn’t the speakers that have me so excited, although [...]
Put up or shut up
We academics are a funny group of people. We spend our days sitting in relatively well furnished buildings dispensing the building blocks of information to the generation that is going to fix the mess we have made. But as a rule we academics do very little when it comes to actually practicing what we teach! [...]
Mash up the University Experience with TEDx
If you are a TED fan then you have to also be fanatical about TEDx events. I find it amazing how many events there are globally and wonder if I can plan a vacation or year sabbatical attending TEDx events, writing, filming, blogging and creating the ultimate learning resource? Think of it as the resources [...]
TEDx / still relevant?
I have been part of 3 TEDx events since I went to TED2009. TEDxDubai in its 1st incarnation was an amazing achievement. A team of 5 with 10,000 Dirhams cash managed to ignite the imagination of Dubai bringing together 1000 participants and a stellar cast of speakers. And the whole thing was done with no [...]
365 days too few
I have said it before and I will say it again BoingBoing is a must browse blog. Why? More often than not it is a wonderful clearinghouse for ideas that, like TED, make you sit back and scratch your head. But don’t confuse things TED and BoingBoing are very different types of sites. I stumbled [...]
TEDxDubaiWomen, the best thing I have ever worked on!
On the 8th of December at 3pm TEDxDubaiWomen will happen at Zayed University and in Abu Dhabi TEDxZayedUWomen will take place. I have never been this excited about an event. This is a community driven and community created TEDx experience. You can expect to be amazed. So far in Dubai we have 5 female speakers [...]
The New Face of Media-thinking.
TEDxDubai did many things and one of the most important things was give the UAE permission to push its media bar in a totally different direction. Leo Laporte made a wonderful daring presentation to TEDxDubai. The media is changing but are we ready? Do we believe the media environment is really changing? Call our media [...]
Ian Gilbert @ TEDxDubai 2009 Re-Imagining Education.
Ian Gilbert Live at TEDxDubai 2009. I had the pleasure of meeting Ian Gilbert about a year ago. I instantly knew that Ian had a story to tell and many people with ear plugs in need to listen and hard! We have a global education crisis today because bureaucrats, CFO’s (chief failure officers), accountants and [...]
It is how we see things!
Conflict takes up an extraordinary amount of our lives. We live conflict, we spectate conflict and we speculate on it. Yet, we spend far too little time thinking about why we are in conflict. And we spend even less time acting on the small things to ease if not eliminate the conflict outright. The greatest [...]
TEDx Dubai works and other do not get it!
I was part of an amazing experience in Dubai on the 10th of October, TEDx Dubai. TEDx Dubai was all about igniting the passion in people to not only talk about issues but to actually get out there and do something about it. Five people, all with full time jobs that are not related to [...]
