First thoughts: TEDx Dubai (#tedxdubai)
After just having left TEDx Dubai early, because of things I have to take care of, I wanted to take a few minutes to post just a thank you to all the organizers with Giorgio and James leading them. The event might have been off to a bit of a rough start with a delay, and personally I was a bit annoyed that there were videos from other TED events played and a rather long speech from TED’s European director Bruno Guissani. Basically I wanted it to dive straight into the TEDx presenters. But once the show got started it was great fun and it bodes very well for future TEDx Dubais of which I hope there will be many. So congratulations to the organizers, sponsors, speakers and everyone who attended. At least the session before lunch, which I attended, were full of thought-provoking stuff for us all to ponder. Whether it spawns any significant action or not is obviously too early to say but I think this is a great start.
