Theme: UTOPIA-The Golden Age

The bigger our fears about tomorrow are, the more important it is to have visions for a better version of reality. The future tends to be seen through a dark cloud of collective pessimism. TEDxLinz does not claim to find the path out of the dark, but aims to let some Golden rays of light in. We believe in the necessity and viability of utopias in a time of global challenges. TEDxLinz offers reassuring scenarios to keep the faith in a better tomorrow, the faith in a potential Golden Age.
