Program
Are you ready for a journey into the future? At TEDxPotsdam, we dedicate this year to the theme “more or less.” We live in a world of constant change – sometimes we need more, sometimes less. But one thing is clear: we must question the current state to avoid stagnation.
Get ready for an evening full of inspiring talks in German and English and profound discussions. Together, we shape the future. More or less – we decide.
What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has developed a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to have a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxPotsdam, where x = independently organized TED event. Our TEDxPotsdam event combines TED Talks video and live speakers to create deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
Past events
All previous talks of the last years and insights behind the scenes.
Our patroness

» Science meets culture on a local stage: I am delighted that bright minds will once again be given a stage at HOT this year to share their passion under the motto 'Ideas worth spreading'. This stimulates thought and discourse and opens up new spaces, in short: TEDxPotsdam is the communication of the future. «
Team
Every TEDxPotsdam event is realized by a wonderful team of volunteers.
