TEDx ARISE Community Salon "Asian Australians Reimagined"

TEDx ARISE is a pioneering community and stage that's 100% community-curated and -created by the new generation of Asian-Australians.

In conjunction with the theme of TED 2025 "Humanity Reimagined", we're hosting a countrywide ONLINE TEDx ARISE Community Salon with a resonant theme "Asian-Australians Reimagined".

How do Asian-Australians imagine themselves?
How does Australia imagine Asian-Australians?
How would you like Asian-Australians to reimagine themselves?
If you are one, how would you like to re-imagine yourself?

Hear ideas, perspectives, and stories from our inaugural 8 TEDx multi-disciplinary speakers from across Australia and diverse backgrounds who will deliver their TED Talks LIVE (will NOT be posted online after, so don't miss these)

After their talks, you'll have a special opportunity to meet them in individual breakout conversation rooms to talk more about their ideas, ask questions, and exchange perspectives and stories about Reimaging Asian-Australians.

As this is also International Women's Day, we will also launch TEDx ARISE Asian-Australian Women Reimagined, and call out for your ideas and inspirations! 

A TEDx event is as much about community connections and conversations! Meet diverse Asian-Australians from all around Australia and overseas and share your experiences, ideas, and views.
