See what's confirmed so far ↓TEDxHeriot-Watt University Dubai brings the spirit of TED to Heriot-Watt University Dubai: a single day of short, powerful talks from people who have something worth saying. In the spirit of TED's mission, we bring our community together to spark conversation, connection, and ideas that outlast the day itself.
This event is independently organized by students, staff, and alumni of Heriot-Watt University Dubai, operating under a free license from TED.
