TEDx Delray Beach
We are excited to announce the return of TEDx talks and discussions to Delray Beach. TEDxDelrayBeach will be held at the Vintage Gym at Old School Square!
TEDx Talks are an annual event where local heroes, hidden talent, community advocates, innovators, scientists, artists, industry experts, and athletes get together to inform, share perspectives, connect and inspire you.
Our 2023 Theme: Ripple Effect
The ripple effect is often used colloquially to mean a multiplicative effect. Unlike the domino effect, which only serves one direction, wave propagation is more complex. In physics, the Huygen-Fresnel principle states that every point on a wave front is itself the source of spherical wavelets, these mutually interfere and form a new wavefront. In sociology, the ripple effect can be observed in how individual interactions can affect the overall system dynamics, often reorganizing it into a "new normal". Information, and therefore behavior, can be both quickly and slowly spread, from individual to individual and community to community, broadening its impact like a wave in the far limit as well as its close surroundings. Our event particularly focus in the role we play as the medium of propagation and will cover a variety of topics which currently affects or begins to reach our local and global community from very diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
Delray Beach has been rapidly growing and evolving these past years and has since been affected by the pandemic and now a global tech revolution in which machine learning, large language models and AI gained a broad spectrum of applications. We have then carefully curated a series of talks on sustainability, urban planning, astrophysics, history through storytelling, creative AI, blockchain technology, among many others. But we also invite our artistic community to be part of our 2023 Short Film selection and enjoy Performances from worldly renowned artists such as the third place World Tango champions.
