2020 Edition
For the third year in a row Católica-Lisbon School of Business & Economics will be hosting a TEDx event. This year’s event will be held online under the theme Break the rules on the 24th of September, 2020. Our goal is to inspire our audience to dream of change and challenge the status quo.
These are just some of the questions we aim to answer at this year’s edition of TEDxCatòlicaLisbonSBE:
What does it mean to break the rules?
How do you break the rules effectively to initiate change?
What makes an idea to a rule breaking?
How do you inspire people to not accept the status quo and to do things differently?
How do you turn a rule breaking idea into action to create a change in society?

About TED
TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). It began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world.
