In order to be at this conference and watch the talks live attendees pay 8.500 USD! Thanks to our agreement with TED we could offer you to watch the talks from this conference on March 18th here in Barcelona! Via streaming (english without subtitles) we were able to watch the talks of one day and also do networking with other attendees and experiment with the latest gadgets!
The subject:
As you can see in the detailed program below the speakers of that day talked about neuroscience, artificial intelligence and space exploration, without doubt very interesting subjects. You can find a summary of the talks presented in this document.
Networking:
This event was also a great opportunity to get to know the TEDxBarcelona community. During the whole event you could do networking with other attendees. We had a second venue with gadgets and catering where attendees commented the talks and got to know other curious minds.
