Rules  and  regulations    TED  &  TEDx    TED  is  a  non-­‐profit  devoted  to  spreading  ideas  to  help  organizations  and  individuals  to  spark  conversation  and  connection,   in   the   form  of   short,  powerful   talks.  TEDx  was  created   in   the  spirit   of   TED's   mission,   "ideas   worth   spreading".   The   program   is   designed   to   give  communities,   organizations   and   individuals   the   opportunity   to   stimulate   dialogue   through  TED-­‐like   experiences   at   the   local   level.   TEDx   events,   organised   as   a   screening   of   TEDTalks  videos   or   a   combination   of   live   presenters   and   TEDTalks   videos,   are   fully   planned   and  coordinated  independently,  on  a  community-­‐by-­‐community  basis.      ESADE  &  TEDxESADE  2017    Founded  in  1958  in  Barcelona,  ESADE  is  one  of  the  top  leading  business  schools  in  the  world.  Its   aims   are   to   provide   the   leaders   of   the   future   with   tools   for   understanding   an   ever-­‐changing  environment.  There  are  currently  more   than  50.000  alumni  who  hold  positions  of  responsibility   in   all   sectors   and   industries   in   over   one   hundred   countries.   For   ESADE   as   an  institution,   TEDxESADE   is   a  major   event   in   its   calendar   and   thus   it  will   be   backed  with   full  support  in  order  to  ensure  a  successful  celebration  and  a  strong  communication  via  ESADE’s  social   media   accounts.   Moreover,   all   talks   will   be   recorded   and   published   through   official  TEDx  website  and  YouTube  account.      TEDxESADE  2017   is   the   seventh  event  of   its   kind   at   ESADE  Business   School   and  one  of   the  hundreds   of   TEDx   events   all   over   Spain.   It   is   organized   by   a   group   of   several   young  professionals   and   students   at   the   ESADE   Business   School   on   a   non-­‐profit   basis.   This   2017  edition  will  be  held  the  Thursday  May  4th  in  the  EGarage  venue,  at  ESADE  Sant  Cugat  campus.  Further   details   on   the   guest   speakers   list   will   be   announced   soon   through   TEDxESADE  accounts  on  Facebook,  Twitter  and  Instagram  and  our  website  www.tedxesade.com  .      The  TEDxESADE  2017  Student  Contest    Under   this   year’s   TEDxESADE   theme:   Encourage   Yourself,   Encourage   Others   we   have  conceived   that,   in   our   world   of   rapid   change   and   an   abundance   of   uncertainty,   there   is   a  growing   need   for   encouragers   -­‐   people   determined   to   take   action,   who   envision   a   new  direction   and  who,   through   their   actions,   generate   a   path   to   be   followed   by   others.   Thus,  through  TEDxESADE  we  want  to  give  these  people  the  stage  in  order  to  encourage  others  in  order  to  drive  the  change  that  we  want  to  see  in  the  world  of  tomorrow.
