In Pursuit Of

Took placeApril 26, 2019
LocationShanghai, Shanghai, China
FormatStandard
This year’s TEDxPuxi explores the theme, IN PURSUIT OF, as a response to the diverse goals, dreams and hopes of the people living in Shanghai's urban metropolis of Puxi. Unprecedented change, pressures and expectations are driving us to push our limits, challenge our beliefs and abandon our old ways of doing things. Each day, millions of us are running around, chasing and striving for one thing or another. In an age of prosperity and opportunity, anything seems possible if we strive just a little more. What are we in pursuit of? Securing our future? Striving for a better lifestyle? Co-creating with technology? Whatever it is we pursue, how can it change our lives? What price will we pay along the way? What effort should we make to be in pursuit? Join us. What are you are in pursuit of?
