The TED story
TED appeared as a great solution in 2010 when Theory and practice, Russian website with online lectures ran out of videos I haven't watched.
The next step of our relations - TEDxMidAtlantic, which made TED more tangible for me and provided an opportunity to meet and talk to people sharing the same spirit.
Although TED website could never be enough, I co-organized the first TEDx in my native city of St.Petersburg, Russia and 10 years later in 2021, a TEDxKanzlerPark in Berlin, Germany - in a completely new realiry with a completely new cohort.
