Expanding
Horizons

The inaugural TEDxBeloHorizonte conference will be held at CentoeQuatro Cultural Space in the Belo Horizonte city center on May 12, 2012. Founded on the very meaning of its location’s name, “Beautiful Horizon”, TEDxBeloHorizonte brings together great thinkers and doers from near and far to share ideas, explore possibilities, and ultimately, present new ways to create beautiful horizons for the world we live in. Using the definition of a horizon as the limit or extent of one’s outlook, experience, interest, or knowledge, we drew upon the phrase of “expanding one’s horizon”, for the theme of the conference. TEDxBeloHorizonte aims to expand horizons in the literal sense as well by exploring the relationship between other countries and Brazil. The conference will engage the best minds of our planet in a conversation that addresses our shared future and how Brazil will integrate itself into our ever more interdependent and globalizing world.

What is TEDx

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxBeloHorizonte, where x = independently organized TED event. At TEDxBeloHorizonte, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
