Why are TED talks so popular?
It's an open secret: Talks take usually 6 to 18 minutes and bring an idea captivatingly to the point. TEDxDresden assists their speakers by rhetoric training and repeated rehearsing to work out the essence of their vision.

Local community

One aim is to promote speakers from Dresden and Saxony as well. Thereby we increase awareness for local ideas and offer a platform for the development of our city.

Depending on the preferences of the speakers talks will be either in German or English. Our aim is to provide a balanced selection that acknowledges the language skills of our audience.
