TEDGlobal2012: Radical Openness
On 27th June, LSx will be hosting a day-long simulcast of the second day of TEDGlobal 2012: Radical Openness, live from Edinburgh. The simulcast will include sessions 4, 5, 6 and 7, with twenty speakers from the TEDGlobal programme.
Do join us at the Round Foundry Media Centre’s conference room – we’re expecting around 40 to join for the day.
