TEDxPortofSpain 12.12.12 was graced with compelling talks from some of the most inspiring and courageous speakers in Trinidad and Tobago. View the Talks.
The speakers at TEDxPortofSpain 2011 provided us with talks that induced innovation, passion, inspiration, co-creation, collaboration and cognitive expansion.
For our second Salon, we asked a few of our 2012 attendees to nominate 10 persons who fit what we called a Firestaters profile: "A diverse group of young thinkers, doers, activators, and unconventionals, from a variety of fields and sectors. These persons are able to impact their local environment and even transcend borders for global impact. It is a group where achievement is more valued than credentials."
The Central Bank Auditorium located at the Eric Williams Plaza, Independence Square, Port of Spain is the amazing venue chosen to host the TEDxPortofSpain conferences.
Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago is one of the most vibrant cities in the Caribbean. Now complete with it's very own TEDx event.

"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.” ― Chief Seattle.
For 2013, TEDxPortofSpain has chosen the theme connecting. We will embark on a journey — filled with stories, songs, and lessons-learned – and the inspiration of those who have demonstrated what is possible when we begin connecting. For 12.12.12 we chose to explore theme Courage. Our 12.12.12 speakers definitely gave some talks worth watching. Please click here to watch the 12.12.12 Talks.
