The team at TEDxCasey were excited to announce that our first TEDx event was to be held on the 28th April 2019.
Our licence had been granted in January so it wasn’t a lot of time for a brand new team to get such a large event off the ground. But we did it!
We had the challenge of planning an event fitting for our spectacular venue which is Bunjil Place in Narre Warren.
The theme of the inaugural TEDxCasey event was simply Two Hands.
We were unsure what this simple concept would inspire our speakers to talk about and we were not disapointed.
The program was ambitious to say the least! We had an afternoon and evening session of talks and had a very full day!
The first session was focused on the inspiring youth in our region and was free to attend.
