TEDx Warwick 09
The inspiration for TEDx Warwick 09 is simple, just like TED. Why not empower students with ideas of the future in which they will live so that they can carry on the tradition by giving birth to new ideas about the future beyond theirs?
This captures the essence of our event and we hope that you can see in it what we, and a strong following around the world see - that ideas drive the human race.
TEDx Warwick 09 is an independently organised event, managed and produced by students at the University of Warwick and licensed under the TEDx programme. The event is the first of its kind in the UK.
