2014 Conference Theme is “What is next?”

In a supremely fast changing world where innovations chase one another, we do not live a day which fails to surprise us. As being part of this incredible speed, we are surprised, excited and inspired at every moment by the breakthroughs taking place in technology, art and science. We are longer living in a world where “Sky is the Limit”, and time is the time to go beyond it and discover what is behind the blue. We as TedxSabanciUniversity team are curious to explore what this unstoppable wind of change has to offer, therefore raising this question: “What’s Next?”. You are invited to TEDxSabanciUniversity to find out answers!
