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.

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.
