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.
