Theme: Synapses: Where Technology Pulses with Humanity

“Synapses: Where Technology Pulses with Humanity” explores the vibrant intersection where cutting‑edge innovation and the irreplaceable spark of the human spirit meet. In an era defined by algorithms, automation, and artificial intelligence, it’s easy to feel our uniquely human strengths—empathy, creativity, intuition—slipping into the background. This TEDx event shines a light on that very frontier, inviting thought leaders, technologists, artists, and changemakers to share stories of harmony between silicon and soul. Together, we’ll examine how technology can amplify our empathy, spark our creativity, and extend our collective imagination—while reminding us that it’s our human connections, our curiosity, and our capacity for wonder that give technology its meaning. Join us as we reforge the synapses between mind and machine, crafting a future where innovation and humanity pulse in perfect synchrony.
