TEDx Dublin
Posted on July 13th, 2009 in Irish Science
TEDx Dublin is a spinoff of the famous TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference, which spawned TED Talks, which are lectures on interesting topics which organisers believe fit their mantra of “Ideas worth spreading”. Previous speakers have included former U.S. President Bill Clinton, Nobel laureates James D. Watson, Jane Goodall, and Al Gore, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, and Billy Graham. More than 400 TED talks are provided for free viewing online.
Recently, a number of spinoff events have taken place across the globe and the Science Gallery hosted TEDx Dublin. The event proved to be extremely popular, with the event oversubscribed well in advance of the lectures. The Science Gallery have now also uploaded the videos to YouTube and made them available for anyone who was unable to attend.
The speakers at the eevnt were Blaise Aguera y Arcas, architect of Bing Maps for Microsoft; Mark Billinghurst from the HIT Lab NZ of the University of Canterbury; and Scott Rickard, Sparse Signal Processign Group in the Complex & Adaptive Systems Laboratory at University College Dublin.
Karlin Lillington from the Irish Times has a writeup on the event.
