Theme: Cooperation - Exchange - Change

TEDxGdynia 2013 is all about discussions the issues covering wide aspects of being active and communicative “Cooperation, Exchange, Change". The general idea is to take under consideration the sequence of motto and consider what is first and what pushes to action. We all live in the very dynamic environment, the world changes are very rapid regarding technology, information, environment and people themselves. There are changes that we don’t influence and others created by us and implementing new structures, new flows in different topics. Taking the time into consideration it’s not easy to reflect what was first – or the common meeting of people with passion has started the new project or maybe the idea was first and attracted individuals? Our goal is to present different points of view, try to research and define the relations between three topic words – cooperation, exchange, change. What pushes us to action, what is first and how it changes regarding different ideas and projects. Gdynia is the modern city with inspiring and very open community and this year we would like to give the possibility to hear and learn from diverse range of speakers.
Subjects that we have in our agenda covers matters of:
1. How the long time journey can change the perspective towards business issues and how new technologies allows people to do their work from very different parts and even from “the end of the world”.
