TEDxSurabaya

We are entering an era of unique challenges and opportunities, driven by the astonishing revolution in technology.

To thrive, we humans will have to raise our game. We must figure out the best forms of collaboration with AI and confidently reassert the values that truly, deeply matter.

Surabaya, where vibrant cultures collide and innovation fuels our mornings!

At TEDxSurabaya, we’re diving into the theme “KALIBRASI” (calibration, in English). It’s the quest for the right balance and alignment among elements such as technology, entertainment, and design, to craft a community that thrives in harmony.

Experience an exclusive TED 2023 video together and start a conversation about the possibilities of what will happen in Surabaya in the future in the Fireside Chat session. You will be invited to play fun interactive games with us in the Waktu Indonesia Bermain session.

A boldness spirit that is attached to Surabaya people for many years. This audacity now brings toward humanism and sustainability. So… what now? At this year’s triumphantly TEDxSurabaya, we’ll hear from speakers who are imagining new possibilities and exploring new ideas for how we might live and work better together in the years to come. We’ll learn the “bravery” in fields including design, technology, science and culture —and together, we’ll envision a future we can build together.
