The date of our new meeting in Zagreb is April 16th, 2011. By then, keep in mind what Lara said: 'We are part of something different, bright and inspiring.' 

Let's do it again.

But in there all the time were also twitters and facebookers who watched the event via the web cast. Had there been by their wish lunch would surely have lasted less, aswell as all other breaks, but this was the time for introductions, exchanging ideas, advices. Talk begun after the lights switched off in the theatre and lasted right up to Baltazar call.

"It may seem inappropriate that instead of watching someone's eyes you first check what it says on the pass, but here it is desirable," said Nenad Maljković one of the curators and organizers, the night before the gathering of participants at the hotel Porin. But what to write as the topic at the place where all topics are permitted and where the mind is wide open for areas that may not be the center of interest in everyday life?

Biologists have listened with pleasure marketing specialist Tina Lee Odinsky-Zec, scientists liked the story about the love of their fellow Davor Pavuna, and all were equally thrilled with crested irony and almost child's giggle of designer Boris Ljubičić.

For us it was a day in the laboratory of Professor Baltazar. Everything seemed possible and reasonable by itself. Out of space achievements, electric car, secret codes printed on silk, transparent politics, world peace and reducing emissions of carbon dioxide through marine snow and air exhauster.

"We're on the TEDx map now" - said Željko Krnjak, creative director TEDxZagreb.

It is a good start, we would add.

The order in which speakers are published is not linked with their performance on TEDxZagreb.

Among the first we have published our space travelers because they bravely go where no other civilian has gone before them. Next in line are the proud physicists, designers with factor X, builders of the Sun and other minds wide open for TEDxZG.

Invitations will be received via e-mail, and those whose applications are not accepted will be informed about alternative opportunities for viewing TEDxZagreb.

If you want to stand on stage and present a creative idea or just tell inspiring life story you can fill out nomination here. In the same place you can nominate individuals who've touched, made you more aware and inspired you, so it's time that others talk about them too.
