Previous Conferences
On November 26, 2010, the "Theatron" hosted the TEDXAthens conference, a meeting dedicated to the dissemination of groundbreaking ideas. Within the 18-minute time limit, speakers, pioneers from the fields of science, art, and business, were invited to give a lecture-experience, a starting point for discussion with the audience. The keynote speaker was Dr. Goran Carstedt, President of the non-profit organization "The Natural Step International," which deals with sustainable development issues. Among the speakers were people from the political sphere, the economy, and the Internet, as well as artists and writers. The conference was under the auspices of the annual TED event, which started 25 years ago in California and has featured personalities such as Bill Gates, Al Gore, Isabel Allende, and Gordon Brown.
