I also run a luxury boutique hotel in Fez, Morocco...

An idea worth spreading
Simple and false Ideas always spread faster than complex and accurate Concepts...

The TED story
I discovered TED via Hans Rosling who was on stage @ "Le Web" in Paris in 2007 and began to binge-watch all the talks released then. I discovered the TEDx program when TEDxParis started in 2009. I helped on the field most editions of TEDxVaugirardRoad and TEDxChampsElyséesWomen, and started TEDxClermont in June 2014 with a small team of volunteers in my hometown.
I attended TED Salon Berlin, TED Active, TEDxMontréal, TEDxBeaconStreet, TEDGlobal>Geneva, TEDxBrussels, TEDxVilnius, TEDxSydney, TEDxBangalore, TEDxValladolid, TEDFest, TEDGlobal Arusha, both TEDSummits, TEDxWeekends in Vienna, Munich, Verona and visited many TEDx events in France in the last years.
