Theme: INCROCI - INTERSECTIONS

The world of tomorrow will be a direct consequence of how well we are able, today, to bring cultures together, exchange expertises, connect points of view, combine approaches, join together research and compare courses.
It will be the result of various intersections.
In Milan, on October 16, we want to bring together the speakers’ ability to inspire with the audience’s curiosity and convey the values ​​that TED and Milan want to spread, brought together thanks to that small, central ‘x’.

Il mondo di domani sarà una diretta conseguenza di quanto saremo capaci, oggi, di far incontrare culture, scambiare competenze, connettere sguardi, unire approcci, collegare ricerche e confrontare percorsi.
Sarà il risultato di diversi incroci.
A Milano, il 16 ottobre, vogliamo incrociare la capacità d’ispirare dei relatori con la curiosità del pubblico e trasmettere i valori che TED e Milano vogliono diffondere insieme grazie a quella piccola, incrociata, lettera centrale.
