Theme: The New Normal

Last year, TEDxKraków explored the links between innovation and tradition
and how the tensions between them can be addressed. This year, we want to
go a little further and explore whatʼs coming up. After all, the last few years
have given us a lot to absorb; a global recession, a major banking crisis and
geopolitical shifts that have seen new powers rise and flex their muscles.

Apart from these more obvious changes, in the background the internet has
now reached millions of people and allowed information, secrets and lies to
be spread with greater ease than ever before. As author Peter Hinssen says
"The past 25 years were about technology getting into the hands of
consumers. The next 25 years will see consumers, young and old, making
technology part of everyday life".

So when the dust settles and we get back to normal, weʼre wondering what
this ʻnew normalʼ will look like. And if thatʼs the new normal, what will be the
new weird? At TEDxKraków our speakers will explore what we might
just have to get used to.
