TEDxDhaka

TEDxDhaka is an ‘independently organized TED event’ in Dhaka, Bangladesh organized by a prolific group of TEDsters and TED enthusiasts. TEDxDhaka is organized under the license and guidance of the TED Conferences LLC, New York, USA. The first TEDxDhaka was organized on June 25, 2009 in the Open Design Studio of the Department of Architecture of the University of Asia Pacific, Dhanmondi, Dhaka. The informal event had around 70-80 attendees, mostly architects and students of design. TEDxDhaka 2009 became a great place for the designers’ community to connect and network with a diverse range of attendees from other activities and disciplines. TEDxDhaka 2009 was mostly based on showing TEDTalks, with an an explanation of the talks before and a discussion after to introduce ‘TED’ and the concept of ‘ideas worth spreading’ to the audience in a more intimate manner, since most of them had never heard of TED before.
