TEDxSydney LIVE
Client: International Towers
Every year TEDxSydney is the much anticipated full day of talks, films, music and debate, and was one of the largest TEDx events in the world. For the second year in a row Ted & Co. Events partnered with the International Towers to offer their community access to the live streaming of TEDxSydney 2017 direct from the International Convention Centre (ICC).
With speakers curated from a wide spectrum of disciplines and backgrounds, they not only argued for, but showed us how to make real change happen. With the big screen streaming the whole day in the intimate North lobby of Tower Two we encouraged our community to drop in as often as your schedule allowed.
