TEDxSydney 2014 live audience applications now open!

Annual ideas festival, TEDxSydney, have now opened the application process to attend this year’s event as a member of the live audience

Application forms can be viewed, completed and submitted via the TEDxSydney website: www.tedxsydney.com


Attendees have until Friday 28 February to submit their application for one of the 2,250 seats.

Successful applicants will be notified via email on 3 March 2014.
 


The full day event will be held within the Concert Hall of the iconic Sydney Opera House on Saturday 26 April and, as with the four previous TEDxSydney events, the full day of programming will blend talks and performances with interspersed "tasty video bits”.
 


On the programming front, our curatorial teams (talks, performances and video), led this year by Editorial Director Edwina Throsby, are working hard to make sure that attendees are delighted, challenged and inspired.

For 2014, food will once again be closely integrated with the day's proceedings.
 
Last year’s event included talks by anti-poaching crusader Damien Mander
; Ron McCallum
, who reflected on technology transforming blindness; Joost Bakker
, the horticulturalist and entrepreneur; Julian Assange and Benny Wenda’s lawyer, Jennifer Robinson
; Alice Gorman
, the space archeologist, plus a performance from beat-boxer Tom Thum
. Thum’s performance has generated over 11 million views on YouTube and is the highest viewed performance in TEDx history.
 

Remo Giuffré, TEDxSydney Licensee, said: “We are excited to be opening up applications for TEDxSydney 2014. Once again, it is shaping up to be quite a day and we look forward to sharing it with the TEDxSydney community.
 
“We’re expecting a large number of applicants this year based on the event’s popularity in 2013 – we had over 35,000 watching last year – so, I encourage enthusiasts to jump online and submit an application as soon as possible.
 


“The application process is straightforward. We’re looking for people who are doing interesting things, and who really want to be in the room on the day.”
 


Live attendance costs $250 per person and delivers a full day of talks and performances, food and beverages, a goodie bag and an invitation to the after party.
